I grew up in a small town in Ontario where my father taught me the game and etiquette of golf. Following my formidable years in Ontario, I moved to BC and joined the Revelstoke G&C. Playing in many tournaments with success throughout my time there, I was persuaded to take up the sport of long drive and spent 6 years on the LDA tour, travelling and competing across North America. Since moving to Calgary over 20 years ago, my love of the game has grown and I’ve been fortunate enough to instill the same passion for the game onto my partner and son.
I have been working at teaching facilities for the past 5 years and have found a permanent home with an amazing group of professionals at 365 GOLF in Calgary.
