PHILOSOPHY

Advocate for the proper balance of agronomic principles that will result in healthy turf with excellent playability.  A key component to a sound golf course is superb communication and leadership not only with the crew, but with members and club officials as well. While specifics of maintaining turf can vary greatly by property and budget, the ability to balance inputs and factors is of utmost importance. This is achieved through years of experience and a desire to meet and exceed member expectations, while at the same time understanding the importance of communicating effectively the happenings related to course conditions.

LEADERSHIP
You must understand your labor pool to build a proper team. Hiring and retaining employees is the single most important aspect on a golf course these days. I have been able to navigate this with excellent results. I am a leader by nature and make sure employees on all levels remain engaged and have a sense of belonging and self-worth.  We spend more time with staff then we do our family, so the sense of family in our shop is extremely strong, it’s the true motivator for all. I bring this passion and talent to any operation I am running.

GOLF-FIRST MENTALITY
As a passionate golfer I love fast greens and work to provide them to members on a daily basis without disruption. When the season is over, we do the hard work to prep them for another season through cultural practices. I also love the game of golf and its architecture, and value golf as the product - not just turf management.

I understand
the knowledge, drive and sophistication
required to produce
the best playing
conditions and member experience.
