PROfile

I was born and raised in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, before moving to Calgary at the age of 8. Here I developed my love for all sports. I played hockey until grade 10, basketball until University, and every other sport imaginable, except golf. I spent most of my twenties in University studying History and Political Science. At the age of 27 I met my future wife, who introduced me to golf. Over the next 30 odd years, I have had the opportunity to work at a number of clubs in the Calgary area. (Valley Ridge, Redwod Meadows, Springbank Links, Country Hills, Silver Springs & Lynx Ridge) I am proud to be the Head Professional  at Willow Park Golf & Country Club .
