Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work at multiple top-level clubs as well as clubs on the rise. My internship at Fresh Meadow Country Club under the close tutelage of Superintendent, Joe Gardner was pivotal to me in gaining a strong mental attitude and strong foundation of turf management expertise. I completed my internship with the primary goal – to be a successful golf course superintendent.

Following my tenure at Fresh Meadow, I was able to earn experience at some amazing properties; The Broadmoor, Sebonack Golf Club, Atlantic Golf Club, East Hampton Golf Club, Due Process Golf Club, and Trump National Philadelphia. Through those experiences I successfully managed different turf and soil types and varieties, along with large-scale renovations, to deliver incredible course conditions.

In 2024, I became the superintendent of Paramount Country Club in the demanding NYC metropolitan area. Concentrating on turf conditioning and greens performance, I have been able to produce excellent results in green speed, ball roll, and aesthetics of the overall course. I have also been involved with renovation work to improve infrastructure efficiency. My time here has also given me the opportunity to deliver a complete club experience through management of clubhouse and ancillary areas found at a premier full-service country club.

Being able to play and understand the game of golf is something that I take very seriously. I have been playing my whole life and credit most of my success in this industry to being a good player. Knowing what it takes for a golf course to play its best is very important. A course can look good yet play very poorly if mismanaged. My strong work ethic and attention to detail is proven in the extraordinary conditioning levels I provide evident through the players perspective.
