Summary

With over 11 years of experience as a Contract Negotiator, Underwriter, and Financial Analyst, I have developed a strong foundation in financial expertise that I am eager to apply to the golf industry, a field for which I have a deep-rooted passion. My background in budget development, trend analysis, and data-driven decision-making has equipped me to optimize financial performance, mitigate risks, and drive operational success.

Furthermore, my two years in the Professional Golf Management (PGM) program, along with my experience owning and operating my own golf teaching business, have provided me with valuable insights into player development, customer relations, and business management within the golf industry. My additional experience in the golf retail and golf club industries has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of both the operational and financial aspects of golf businesses.

I am confident that my ability to blend strategic financial oversight with practical golf operations, coupled with my leadership capabilities, makes me an ideal candidate for the Director of Golf position. In this role, I am committed to fostering strong relationships with clients, improving overall member engagement, and driving growth in all areas of golf facility management.
