I was born locally at Rockyview Mountain Hospital, but moved to New Brunwick at the age of 5. I lived in a small town called Oakland with my younger brother (Chris), mother (Diane) and step father (Doug). In Fall of 2012, I attended Holland College, where I took the Professional Golf Management course and gratuated with my diploma in the Spring of 2015. I am currently employed by Silver Springs Golf and Country Club and this is the only club I have ever worked at. I spent 2 years on the turff team while attending Holland College during the Summer months, and I am now into my fourth season here as an Assistant Golf Professional.
