Profile

  • Golf has always been a family affair for me, beginning when I was just four years old. My grandfather crafted my first club by modifying one of his old Wilson 3 woods, and my father has had a lifelong passion for the sport. Their influence instilled in me a deep love for golf, which I transformed into a career in golf course maintenance. I began my journey as a seasonal employee at Mayfield Sand Ridge Country Club, where my dedication led to a full-time position and a growing passion for the field.

    In 2017, I joined the Canterbury Golf Club team as an Assistant in Training under the guidance of Mike LoPresti, where I mastered the intricacies of preparing a championship golf course. Over the past eight years, we have significantly improved the golf course, elevating its ranking among the best in the country. With 14 years of experience in the industry, I am now eager to advance to the role of Head of Maintenance at a prestigious golf club.
