About Christian:

I started playing golf 13 years ago in my hometown of Gainesville, FL. In the first few years of playing I learned a lesson that is still the guiding force behind how I view golf, business, and life: That each is a journey impossible to master and therefore continuously pushes you to learn and grow.

I carried this lesson with me as I began my college golf career at Brevard Community College in August of 2006. After completing my short two years at Brevard, I was fortunate enough to move on and compete at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, AL. Becoming a South Alabama Jaguar was one of the best decisions of my life. I earned a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies, and graduated as an NCAA Academic All-American. In May of 2011 I decided it was time to put my game to the test in the professional arena.
Climbing the ranks of professional golf is much more a marathon than a sprint. Fortunately, I am off to a great start. My scoring average over 18 rounds as a pro is 71.05 and I have finished in the money in five out of ten events. As my game progresses I will continue to compete at higher levels, with the ultimate destination being the PGA Tour.

The GFB along with the right diet and exercise help Christian to play his best:
Nutrition and fitness became a huge part of my life while attending South Alabama. I began to eat right and exercise on a regular basis and the result was lower golf scores and much higher energy levels throughout the day. Shortly after graduating, I discovered that I was Gluten Intolerant, and the search was on for the best Gluten free bar I could find. Ironically enough, I found THE Gluten Free Bar and loved it. In the game of golf not everything is under your control. Fortunately, your on course nutrition is. What I put into my body to fuel me during tournaments is extremely important and can provide me with an advantage over the competition. The Gluten Free Bar combines the perfect ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fats from all natural ingredients to keep me mentally and physically strong for 18 holes. Whether I am on the golf course or in the gym, The GFB fuels my body and my mind.
