Began golf at an early age primarily playing in my hometown at the Westlock GC. After a brief stint as a television news reporter, I finished my schooling at MacEwan University, Majoring in Communication Studies. My love for the game brought me back into the golf industry in 2021, and I earned my PGA status in 2022 while working at the Barrhead GC under my longtime mentor and friend Kevin Lynes. In 2023, the opportunity arose to finish out my Apprenticeship back in my hometown with another PGA Member mentor of mine, Ryan Provencal. I am proud to now be the Class A Head Professional at the Westlock GC, and proud of the direction the club is headed in.
