Summary
I decided early on in my life that the golf course industry was where I wanted to be and set myself on a path to build both my educational and work experience with the goal of a lifelong turfgrass career. I am a results-driven Assistant Superintendent adept at controlling costs, enhancing golf course grounds and maintaining efficient operations. I have excellent customer service and communication skills with a collaborative nature and a strong attention to detail.
