Born in Smithers BC, I was raised in Vernon BC where I immediately fell in love with the game of golf. When I was 12 I obtained my first golf membership at Hillview GC, the rest is history. I have always loved the family aspect of the game and how no matter your age or skill level the game can still be enjoyable for everyone. Starting in the industry in 2011, I have had the pleasure of working at a few great clubs over my years, notably The Grande Prairie G&CC, The Derrick G&WC, The Okanagan Golf Club, The Petroleum Club and currently as an Assistant Professional at The Highlands Golf Club in Edmonton, Alberta. Through working at these courses, I’ve had the opportunity to work with and learn from many PGA of Canada Professionals such as Ray Milne, Bobby Martens, Adam Werbicki, Trevor Goplin, and Clay Stothers. I hope to have a long career promoting the game in any way I can.
