PROfile
I am a native Calgarian. I have been golfing for 50 years and am excited to be a PGA member. My former profession as an NHL hockey player and all that I had to learn to become elite are how I became a PGA professional this year.
It is the mindset. I have been working with teams and individuals for over 16 years, helping them understand the connection between wellness, culture, and performance.
We cannot achieve our best if we are not well, and we cannot contribute positively to the culture when we are not well. When these two vital aspects are accomplished, that is when we can reach our peak performance.
I am the father of two and have been married for 30 years. I like to fly fish, and helping others is a huge passion of mine.
