Summary

Although I spent many years operating excavating equipment and installing various utilities from fiber optic cable to high voltage power cables, the true love for the game of golf has become my next endeavor. I have become a person to talk shots through with friends, and help get out of scenarios that may end up hurting the scorecard. From ranging in yardages, to reading greens for putts or greenside chips, I feel I am an asset on the golf course. With my past experience with working with customers and their own properties, I do quite well with holding conversation and being a listener first and foremost. I believe I am professional enough to be considered for the most serious of golfers, but can be fun and encouraging for the most fun and laid back groups as well. The drive to want a career in golf world is heavily inspired by my devoted love for the game.

Golf

Golf has become a love of mine. So much so that I am trying to break into the golf world for a career change. I play as much as possible when I have the time. I have grown up swinging clubs my whole life, and have taken the last five years very serious in it. Breaking into the 80's consistently this year is the goal. I am devoted to the game, and feel I am meant to have a career in the game of golf.
