My hands-on experience in golf course management and construction, coupled by a professional education, have helped guide me to this point of success in my career. In my current position as Director of Agronomy at The Country Club of Spartanburg, I have elevated course conditions and increased member satisfaction every season. Effectively communicating, leading and training employees to be dedicated, passionate team members is one of the key traits that separates me from other individuals in the golf course industry. I firmly believe with my leadership qualities I can develop a well-rounded staff to implement my programs, providing your membership with a course that is conditioned to a level which will instill pride.
As a Superintendent, I feel constantly challenged to provide membership with the best playing conditions possible. All while being keenly aware of the necessary fiduciary responsibilities to maintain world-class facilities responsibly. The consistent challenge drives me to be the best, exceeding expectations. Additionally, I enjoy utilizing new advancements and techniques to remain at the cutting edge of our industry.
While turf is my professional passion, I also have a wonderful family and enjoy my time away from the course with them to keep me focused and committed to success.
