I grew up playing golf at Ledgeview Golf & Country Club, as a junior golfer I was lucky enough to have Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin playing out of my home club. My family moved to Calgary in 2006 and I enrolled as a junior at Lynx Ridge. Over the years I worked for many great pro’s in the back shop and pro shop, including: David Robinson, Tim Sawatzky and John Seymour. I learned a lot in my younger days. I was the medalist at the PAT in 2015 and was named an Assistant Professional at The Links of Glen Eagles. This was by far the most important year of my career and I was lucky enough to learn from some of the best. Slade King, Kevin Graf and Riley Boothby. In 2016 I made my way back to Lynx Ridge as the Assistant, from there over the years I have held the Head Professional Title, Assistant General Manager and now I am the Director of Golf / Executive Professional. I am very proud to have spent the bulk of my career at the course I spent my youth at. The membership is truly like family to me and providing them the best exeperience possible fuels me to always be learning and giving it 100% each and every day. My favourite parts of the job are: Events, Retail, Social Media Marketing and still playing the game I love and competing at a high level. I look forward to the future and new wave of young professionals in our industry. I hope to lead by example and provide inovative and exciting ideas in the ever evolving world of the golf business.
