I grew up in Kalamazoo and have spent the majority of my career in Northern Michigan. I have been at Leland Country Club, Manistee National Resort and Wilderness Valley/Black Forest in Gaylord. I served most of my apprenticeship as an assistant pro in the Chicagoland area and have spent many winters in Palm Beach County, FL. So, like many golf pros, I have been around some. It only took one year in Green Bay (actually just a few months), however, to realize how much I missed Northern Michigan, so I am very happy to have landed here at Indian River.
