I was born in Rocky Mountain House but lived in Sherwood Park, Fort McMurray and Edmonton growing up. I completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Alberta and Business Management Golf Operations from Grant MacEwan University. I have a huge passion for golf equipment and club fitting and believe that a proper fitting by a professional can help simplify things for golfers and give them the confidence and excitement to further enjoy the game.
