PROfile
My formative years were spent in Crossfield Alberta where I worked at the Carstairs Golf Course during my high school years. Following high school I enrolled in the Professional Golf Management Course at Lethbridge Community College. I received my Pro card in Airdrie Alberta at age 18.
I continued my golf career throughout college and university working as an assistant Pro for both Pheasant Back Golf Course in Stettler Alberta (2 years) and Land O Lakes in Coaldale (3 years).
In 2014 I was hired as the Head Professional at the Crowsnest Pass Golf and Country Club following 2 years as the assistant Pro with the club.
I really enjoy the atmosphere and the great people at the Crowsnest Pass Golf Club and am blessed with working with some of the greatest people in the golf industry as in Gary Browning , Charlie Goodwin of Goodwin Golf and our great superintendent now GM Waren Gietz building an amazing new course and Club House. The NEW Crowsnest Pass Golf Club rivals any destination mountain golf course.
