I was born and raised in Westlock, AB. I attended Lethbridge College, taking Professional Golf Management. My first job in the golf industry was at the Red Deer Golf & C.C. After 18 wonderful years of working there I moved on to Red Deer Discount Golf, where I currently work. I reside in Red Deer with my wife and 2 children.
