Profile

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work at multiple top-level clubs
as well as clubs on the rise to notoriety. For example, my time at The Baiting Hollow Club allowed me to work closely with ownership to bring an idea to fruition. We implemented significant cultural and agronomic changes to transform the former Fox Hill property into a world-class facility, which you will see through pictures on this website. This experience is one of many in my unique career that I am grateful for to be at this point.

In 2014, I joined the team at Atlantic Golf Club and had the opportunity to manage this excellent facility. After 5 years, Bob Ranum retired and Atlantic promoted me to the Golf Course Superintendent position where I remain today. Concentrating on turf conditioning and greens performance, I have been able to produce unbelievable results in green speed, ball roll, and aesthetics of the overall course. I have also been associated with renovation work on this classic course.

While my resume highlights working at other outstanding facilities, my time at Atlantic and Baiting Hollow encompass a large part of my career. The quality of these courses during my tenure is indicative of my passion for each unique property and hope to bring this passion to my next 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. As you know, a course can look good and play very poorly if mismanaged. Being a good player and acknowledging what needs to be done and having the knowledge to do it are two qualities that all top superintendents must possess and I have both. My strong work ethic will prove itself in the conditioning of your golf course.
