PROfile
I have been a member of the PGA of Canada since 2003. I have worked at various facilities in Alberta & British Columbia such as Inglewood Golf & Curling Club, Springs Course @ Radium Resort, Desert Blume Golf Club & my current club Valley Ridge Golf Club. Over those years I have worked for some great mentors and leaders in our association that have helped me become a great professional. I enjoy the day-to-day interactions with my members and guests and there isn’t anything else I rather be doing than working in the golf industry. I have been fortunate to play golf all over the world such as Ireland, United States, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Mexico, and Jamaica. I am married to a wonderful wife who is an amazing mother of our 2 kids, and we enjoy travelling, skiing and golfing as a family.
