“I am so excited to have Cory join the UAB women’s golf program. The best thing about Cory is his heart to serve and build a program here with these amazing ladies. He truly cares about the athletes in every aspect from academics to golf to their every day life. He is a great asset from his experience in the golf industry as well as from Buena Vista University, and I am so thankful for him and his willingness to hit the ground running. Welcome to the Blazer family, Cory!”

“It is an honor to join the UAB women's golf program and assist Coach Lawley and the team as we transition into the next era of Blazer golf. After visiting Birmingham, touring campus and meeting with athletic staff, I knew this would be a great environment to coach. My family and I look forward to becoming a part of the Blazer family and community.”
