What business achievement are you most proud of?
I am very proud of a number of things we do here at the club, including our reputation as one of the premier golf facilities in Ontario, but the last few years I am really proud of our Junior Golf Program. We have over 130 young men and women that are learning to love the great game of golf.

What is one interesting fact about yourself that not many people would know?
That my dad was the caddy for Larry Mize when he won the 1987 Masters….the miracle chip in!

Where do you go/what do you do to unwind?
Nothing better than spending time with my beautiful family. My wife Tara, my son Jaxon, my daughter Devyn and our faithful, yet disobedient black lab Dexter. Spending time with them is the BEST!
