Hi, it's me Ryan
I'm a PGA Associate with a passion and love for the game!
About Me
Welcome to my About Me section, if you're reading this i'm sure you know but my name is Ryan Schudlich. I grew up and still live in Grosse Pointe spending a lot of my time golfing, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. After spending some time at Oakland University studying business I decided to refocus my skills and enroll in a coding bootcamp called TechElevator. During my 14 weeks at TechElevator, I spent time studying the Java programming language and learned how to develop fullstack dynamic web based software systems. The program was rigorous and challenging but yet rewarding as we spent almost our entire day monday through friday fully focused on coding. The time we spent not coding was spent learning interview skills and enhancing our professional portfolios by doing mock interviews with both classmates and staff.
