I was born and raised in Miramichi, New Brunswick. At 14 I fell in love with golf after some of my friends invited him out to a local 9 hole course. Over the next few years I would play as much golf as I could, eventually winning my Men’s club Championship at 19 years old. I went to Dalhousie University where I attained my Bachelors of Science-Biology in 2013. I wasted no time moving to Calgary in pursuit of a career. It wasn’t long before I realized where my true passion lied; GOLF. While working at the Glencoe Golf & CC I decided to go and try to get my Pro Card. I was tied for low medalist with with a total of 149 thru 2 days. My first professional job was in 2018 working under Kurtis Foote at Woodside Golf Course, where I remained for 2 years. In 2020 I moved to country Hills GC to once again work under Head Professional Kurtis Foote. At the conclusion of the 2021 Season, I made the move to join Dave Robinson, Adam Bayne, and the Windmill Group as their Associate Professional at Heritage Pointe GC.
