My Story
Hey there, golf aficionados and management mavens!
My journey in the world of golf began at a tender age of 8, swinging clubs and falling in love with the sport. Fast forward to my college days at Boise State, where I proudly represented our team on the greens. But it wasn’t just about the game; it was about nurturing a deep-seated passion that would shape my career path.
Transitioning from player to leader, I found myself navigating the corridors of some of the nation’s most prestigious golf courses. From teaching the fundamentals to managing operations and eventually steering the ship as a Director of Golf, I’ve worn many hats in the industry.
However, my journey took an exciting turn in 2010 when I made the leap into the world of education. And let me tell you, it’s been a management masterclass ever since!
So, whether I’m strategizing on the fairway or orchestrating operations in the classroom, my commitment to effective management remains unwavering.
Thanks for swinging by my site, and I can’t wait to connect with fellow enthusiasts who share my passion for both golf and dynamic management.
Here’s to driving success on and off the course!
“Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what you have to offer.”
