About
Golf has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a junior, I was fortunate to have some great role models in developing a love for the game. I then had the opportunity to move from Edmonton to California and played the Golden State Tour. After a four year stint, I moved back to my home town of Edmonton and began an apprenticeship in the PGA of Canada.
My first year as an assistant was at the Glendale G & CC. I then moved on to teach for two years at the Cypress Hills Practice Centre. The following two seasons l worked at Westridge GC and Lewis Estates GC. My experience at all of these facilities led me to the position of Head Professional at Eagle Rock GC which I enjoyed for a period of fifteen years.
During my time at Eagle Rock GC, an outside opportunity presented itself and I accepted an offer at an engineering consulting firm as a Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.).
In 2019, I decided to pursue new opportunities in the game and industry that I love and have been reinstated into the PGA of Canada as a Class A Professional.
Presently, I'm involved in every facet of the game and especially enjoy helping people learn and enjoy this great game.
