Born in Winnipeg, Nick moved to Calgary at the age of 5 where he grew up an athletic child who participated in many different sports. Growing up Nick never really played golf more than a handful of times each summer and never really had a passion for the sport as a junior. It wasn’t until after he graduated high school and started working at golf courses in the summer that he developed a love for the game. Throughout university he spent what seemed like every day of the summer at the golf course either playing, practicing, or working. Taking a sport and recreation degree at Mount Royal University, Nick felt that working in the golf industry was a natural fit as it combined his new passion with a future career.
Nick started his journey in the golf industry in 2015 at Heritage Pointe where he worked for 5 years in the back shop. In 2019 he joined Willow Park Golf & Country Club working in the Pro Shop where he has spent the past 2 seasons. After never playing competitive golf growing up, he decided to attempt his playing ability test to become a Golf Professional. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Nick was able to meet the playing requirements in September of 2020. He enjoys the vareity of work he gets to do on a daily basis while continuing to learn and grow as a Golf Professional at Willow Park.
