My name is Aaron Buchner. I was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and have one older brother. I am currently residing in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada where I am employed as the Associate Golf Professional at the Fort McMurray Golf Club. I live in Fort McMurray with my amazing wife (Shannen) our son (Bodie) and our little fur baby (Ms. Dew). We have lived in Fort McMurray for the past 8 years and absolutely love it. The great outdoors and the amazing people in this community, we are happy to call Fort McMurray home. I consider myself very lucky to have found a career where my passion for the game of golf and skill set can be expressed on a daily basis. Being able to turn one of my greatest passions/hobbies into a career has been wonderful. From the many people I have been fortunate to meet in my career to the many opportunities that may lay ahead, I am proud of the progress I have made thus far in my career and I am excited for the future. I am proud to be a Class A Professional of the PGA of Canada and PGA of Alberta.
