Career
Burns went to John F. Kennedy High school located in the San Fernando Valley. He turned pro in 1991 and joined the Professional Golf Association Tour in 1994. During Burns" first month on the Professional Golf Association Tour, his home in Northridge, California was rocked by a massive earthquake.
He ended his rookie season 101st on the money list but failed to qualify for the Professional Golf Association Tour for 1995 by a single stroke, and spent the next two years on the Nike Tour (now Nationwide Tour).
His career hit a low-point in 1997 when he failed to qualify for either tour. Burns regained his Professional Golf Association Tour card for the following season and continued to improve his game.
His career took another downturn, however, and he was back on the Nationwide Tour in 2005 after failing to qualify by a single shot. Professional Golf Association Tour wins (1)
