Unlike most professional golfers, Gunn did not play golf in college, but worked on oil rigs and built homes after finishing his schooling.[1]

In 2007, Gunn moved to the United States to turn professional.[2] Gunn played the 2014 season on the Web.com Tour with a best finish of T-18 at the BMW Charity Pro-Am. He played the 2015 season on the Gateway Tour.[3]

Gunn finished tied for 27th at the 2015 U.S. Open.[4] To qualify for the open he had to play in both local and sectional qualifying and ultimately qualified as an alternate.

Since 2016 Gunn has played on the Web.com Tour. His best result was in the 2017 The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic where he was runner-up to Andrew Landry.
