I was born and raised in St. Albert. I grew up playing golf at Sturgeon Valley G&CC, as well as Windermere G&CC. When I was 3, I picked up a set of plastic clubs in the backyard, and started swinging as much as I could. It was when I broke 3 sets in a couple of weeks, that my parents put me in a set of steel clubs.
