PROfile
Born and raised on the family farm in Cochrane. I grew up as a junior golfer at Cochrane club, bearspaw country club and also The Hamptons.
I moved to Arizona to attend the golf academy of America for 3 years working on my golf game and playing junior hockey.
Once I returned to Alberta I spent one season split between Sundre golf club and collicutt siding golf course.
The following season in 2011 I started my dream path of climbing the ranks at the Links of Gleneagles!
