Summary

To find a career, not just a job, that will allow me to help the company, and myself, succeed financially, consistently and competitively.


Self-motivated, hard-working natural leader with an ability to react and adapt to a fast paced and fast changing work environment. Able to learn new practices and procedures quickly and efficiently.


Positive, upbeat individual with above average math, problem solving and communication skills. Able to work with and alongside all people and different personalities.


Worked as the General Manager at the Albany Golf Club since June 2019. When I got to Albany it was just an 18 hole course with a small driving range. It also included a pro shop and a bar. Since I have started we were able to transform the driving range into a Toptracer Range and start an on-premise restaurant. We have gone from just over $600,000 in sales in my first year (2019) to over $1.2 million in sales in 2023.
