I grew up in the Ottawa Valley, small town named Perth. I started playing the game of golf at a very young age out of the famous Link’s O’Tay Golf Club now known simply as the Perth Golf Club. I was an avid junior golfer, sunrise until sunset each day in the summer, with a passion for the game of golf and then developed an interest in the business as well. I then attended Humber College in Toronto, Ontario and enrolled in the Professional Golf Management Program and then resided in Toronto for 9 years.
I’ve had the pleasure of working at two of the top golf facilities Canada has to offer. Prior to arriving in beautiful Jasper, Alberta and Canada’s #1 Golf Resort , The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in April of 2009, I worked 5 seasons at St. George’s Golf and Country Club as an Assistant Golf Professional in the summer months and then the Curling Associate in the winter months. I’ve has also worked a season at Bayview Golf and Country Club, Angus Glen Golf Club and Kleinburg Golf and Country Club over the years.
