PROfile

I was born in 1963 and raised in Pincher Creek, Alberta.  I was introduced to the game of golf by my parents and I spent my entire junior golf career with memberships at the Pincher Creek GC and the beautiful Waterton Lakes GC.

After completing high school, I enrolled in the Business Administration program at the Lethbridge Community College.  In 1984, I won the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference golf championship and my coach Bill Stewart, an Associate Professional at Henderson Lake GC at the time, landed the head professional job at Lethbridge Country Club the next winter.  Stewart approached me about becoming a club professional and immediately upon graduation, I began my CPGA apprenticeship under him.  In the fall of 1988 as I was just completing my apprenticeship and writing my class A exam, my first Head Professional opportunity was presented to me at the Magrath Golf Club in Magrath, AB.   It was a terrific first experience managing my own pro shop at a then very busy rural golf club. 

The Lethbridge CC Head Professional position opened in March of 1990 and I was fortunate enough to land the job as a 26 year old!  I had married my wife Carol in 1985 and literally a week into the golf season in my new HP role, we became parents for the first time to our daughter Kelsey.  In 1991 we were blessed with a second daughter Kendra and in 1995 a son Bryson.

The Lethbridge CC’s GM was dismissed after the 1998 season and I took on a Director of Golf role for the next few years.  In 2004, the Club restructured the management team and I became the Executive Professional and have held that role since.    

To this point, I feel very fortunate to be in the golf business and I am a proud member of the PGA of Canada.
