A PGA of America Member since 1996 and Junior Golf Leader at Highfields Golf and Country Club in Grafton, MA for 18 years. Has been in the golf business for over 25 years. Now bringing the enthusiasm and knowledge for junior instruction to Black Bear Golf Club in Eustis, FL. I picked up the game fairly late as a child when I was about 12 or 13 years old just hitting balls around the backyard. Didn't really figure out how much the game meant to me until I was about 16-17 years old. I knew then that I wanted to be involved in the game somehow. Began working at a local club when I was 16 just so I could play as much as I could. Soon after I was introduced to the business side of golf from a PGA Member. My true love is in teaching, especially in teaching beginners and children. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student hit their first perfect shot or holing their first putt. The enthusiasm is contagious..
