I was born in Regina and raised in Calgary until we moved to Edmonton in grade 12 and became a Professional at the Derrick G&WC. After my experience at U of Alberta, I decided that the golf business was where I wanted to work. An Oilers fan and married to a great lady with 2 awesome boys who inspire me each day. Having a chance to work at different courses as a young assistant has allowed me to gain valuable experience in all formats of the golf business Public, Semi-Private and Private. Now with my Food and Beverage experience as youngster, I am ready for the next level of management in the golf business which we all try to strive for.
