I was first introduced to the game of golf at 8 years of age. At 13, I started to focus on my golf game & soon qualified for my first junior tour. Over the next 5 years, I competed on both the provincial, national & international level.

​

At 18, I was fortunate enough to obtain a scholarship to attend Eastern Michigan University where I competed at the Division 1 level while completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Communications & Marketing. After graduating in the Spring of 2004, I played on the Great Lakes Tour before qualifying for the Canadian Tour (now known as the PGA Tour of Canada). I played 3 years (05-07) with full exempt status, traveling through North America & Mexico. In 2008 & 2009, I traveled through the Northern US playing on the Dakotas Tour before coming back to the Port Hope/Coburg area in 2010 to start teaching & coaching.
