PINNACLE PEAK MEMBERS

With nearly all new faces on our professional staff, we wanted to give you some insight into their backgrounds and how they arrived at Pinnacle Peak. I personally am thrilled to have all of them and feel this is the strongest team of professionals we have assembled in years. Please read about each of our team members and don’t hesitate to reach out to any of them should you need assistance.

RICHARD ABBOTT

I call Gardnerville in Northern Nevada home but have lived all over the state with my parents working in the casino industry. Married to my wife, Jamie, for seven years and have an 8-month-old daughter named Eleanor Joyce. I can’t call golf a hobby anymore, as it is my profession, but I do also enjoy cooking/baking and hosting people. I am a Class A PGA professional since February of 2021. Most recently I was the Head Professional at Tatum Ranch but have also worked at Capital Canyon Club in Prescott, Pinewood CC in Munds Park, and Rio Verde CC in Rio Verde.

JAMES BICKLE

Twenty-five years old, born and raised in Cave Creek, Arizona, I am blessed with loving parents and siblings. My older brother Danny serves as a Marine and just graduated from GW Law, and my younger sister is working to get her Master’s at Baylor University while also playing on the basketball team. Basketball was my first love before getting the golf bug in college. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in marketing from Grand Canyon University and am just starting my journey into the PGA program. Working as an assistant professional for the last five years has given me amazing opportunities to travel each season, from Pine Canyon and Forest Highlands in Flagstaff to Diamante in Cabo, and now back home in the Valley.

Kyle Doiron

Born and raised in rural north California, I was looking for a new adventure when I joined the US Navy as a Hull Maintenance Technician. During eight years of service, I was stationed in Guam, as well as the Camp Pendleton Marine Base in California and have been deployed to several countries including Bahrain and Japan. After honorable discharge, I enrolled in the Professional Golf Management Program at Florida Gulf Coast University, where in December 2020, I earned my B.S. in Golf Management as well as my Class A PGA status. Fresh from North Fork Country Club in east Long Island, my current hobbies include hiking, the gym, and exploring new bars.

Boston Richardson

An Arizona native who previously worked at Golf Club of Estrella, I recently married my lovely wife, Aleah, and together we care for our dog, Jack. I studied finance at Arizona State University and later went on to get a Master's Degree in Business Administration. When I’m not at the golf course, I enjoy camping, playing pickleball, and doing regular maintenance on my truck.

Tony Wright

Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, I spent five years in Chicago selling custom suits before my wife and I decided to come home in late 2019 to be close to family. I have been happily married to my wife, Carina, since 2018 and we have a wonderful 15-month-old daughter named Kaja. I used to have hobbies outside of golf, but now most of my time is spent watching Kaja grow and learn. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have been in the golf industry since returning in 2019, and I have worked at Estancia for two years as well as a summer at Quintero. Currently working my way through the PGA program, I’m nearly finished with level one.

Your Professional Staff is here to help and look forward to seeing you at the Club soon!
