What initially drew you to the game of Golf, and how did you get started?
Baseball was my first love, and unfortunately, after a knee injury, I couldn’t go out for the team my sophomore year in high school. A friend of mine invited me to play a round of golf with him, and I enjoyed it. When I turned 16, I got a job at Donegal Highlands as a cart attendant and fell in love with the business. I have worked in the golf industry since then.
Please provide some insight into your previous roles. I’ve been working in the industry since 1999 and turned professional in 2003. Since then, I have worked in every aspect of the golf industry at a green grass facility.
How long have you been a PGA member, and what made you decide to pursue a career in the PGA of America? I fell in love with the business when I started working as a cart attendant in high school. I became good friends with the club professional who worked there. When it was time to decide what I wanted to do for college, I knew I wanted to be in the Golf industry and help people enjoy the game. I was elected a Class A Member of the PGA in 2011.
