A Raider student-athlete from 2012-2016, Lash served as a team captain as a junior and senior, and was a scholar athlete from
202-2015.
In addition to his duties at Wright State, Lash has most recently served as the assistant course manager at WGC Golf Course in Xenia, OH, helping run the day-to-day operations of the course, and was also previously a professional caddie on the LPGA Tour from 2018-2020.
