I was born and raised in the great city of Calgary. Started playing Golf at the age of 13 after Tiger won the Masters in 1997. I began my career at Fox Hollow as a junior performing golf service duties in exchange for golf. I then spent 3 years at Priddis Greens as a Golf Service Supervisor while attending and completing the PGM Program at Lethbridge College in 2005.
I spent 3 years at the Wintergreen G&CC in which time I became a PGA of Alberta member after passing my PAT. I attempted to pursue golf playing professionally and played Mini Tour Golf in California and Arizona from 2006 to 2010. Those guys were good... To compliment my time down south I started Golf Hosting in 2006 in Southern California including Vintage and Stone Eagle Golf Clubs.
I had the pleasure to work at Kauri Cliffs in New Zealand in 2007-08 for a eason which is ranked in the top 50 in the world as well as Cape Kidnappers. I was able to travel Australia during my time there including Royal Sydney.
I spent 8 Seasons at the Earl Grey Golf Club as an Assocaite Professional from 2013-2020 where I obtained my Class "A".
I am currently working on the "Grow the Game of Golf" RV TOUR - Alberta Chapter. Travelling the province of Alberta visiting the small town golf clubs that do not have a PGA Member employed at the facility. Offering Insturuction to Juniors, Members and well as consulting.
