Ashton is an 8-year-old junior golfer who is on a two-fold mission to normalise golf in "untraditional" spaces and show the world that little people can do big things too. He began his golfing career at 2 years old. At 5 years old Ashton qualified for the IMG Junior World Championships and had his very first hole-in-one at the Torrey Pines competition. Since then, Ashton has continued to compete and succeed at the highest international levels. Ashton has won and competed in competitions across the world in Africa, North America, Europe, South America and the Spanish-speaking and English-speaking Caribbean. Most recently he won the Doral Jr. Classic. He has been featured in print and television news media, and has been identified as a rising star. But, what truly sets Ashton apart is his versatility. He speaks Spanish and English and he is actively learning French and Mandarin. He rides horses and competes in swimming and track and field. He also does Brazilian jiu-jitsu, football (soccer) and archery. He plays chess, steel pan and the violin. Academically, Ashton is advanced and is a member of Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth, which is a gifted and talented programme. Ashton brings his Caribbean "swag" to everything he does and wants all kids to bring their authentic selves to everything they do too!
