PROfile
Golf has always been a big part of my life. I grew up in Kitchener, Ontario and spent my summers in Sauble Beach. I was the kid that got dropped off at the golf course for the first tee time in the morning, and picked up before dinner, you couldn’t keep me away from the course!
It was a no brainer that I wanted to make a career out of golf, so following High School, I completed the Professional Golf Management Program at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario.
I started out my career with nothing but a love for the game of golf. Through years of experience and with incredible guidance from some really smart business minded mentors, I have grown a really deep passion for the business side of the Golf Industry.
I am very fortunate to have a loving and supportive wife and two beautiful children!
Q. What do you enjoy most about the game and the business of golf? I love the relationships this industry creates. Friendships with Fellow PGA of AB members, members at the course and fellow staff members I have enjoyed over the years. |
Q. What or who influenced you in becoming a Golf Professional? My family and the Professionals that I worked with at GlenEagles at the time |
Q. What would you be doing if you weren’t a Golf Professional? I think the closest thing I could come to as far as building relationships and meeting new people like I do now would be in Real Estate. I have always had a side passion for Real Estate. |
Q. What is your favourite golf course in the world? I have been fortunate to play some great golf courses in Hawaii, Mexico, US, and Canada. I always revert back to Cascata in Las Vegas when asked about my favourite course! |
Q. Who is your favourite PGA Tour player? Tiger Woods |
Q. What is the first club you take out of your bag on the driving range? I try to avoid the range. |
Q. What is the most number of holes of golf you have played in one day? 58 |
Q. What is your career low round and where did you shoot this score? 64 at the Links of GlenEagles |
Q. What significant accomplishments are you most proud of? My son, Rory and daughter, Miley are my two biggest accomplishments that I am most proud of! |
Q. What other interests, hobbies and passions can you share? Anything to do with sports. Loyal Raptors, Avalanche, Mariners and Cowboys fan. |
