After completetion of the PGA Golf Management Program at EKU in 2016 I have spent time at various facilites. Since July of 2018 I have served as the First Tee - Louisville Program Director steadily growing participation and attendance numbers as well as navigating the COVID-19 Pandemic. Over this time we have added at least one new offering for our youth each year. During a busy 2021 I was named the Kentucky PGA Youth Player Development Award Winner, became our chapters third First Tee Certified Coach, and began US Kids Certification. I now serve as the Director of Golf for First Tee - Louisville, Shawnee Golf Course and Bobby Nichols Golf Course. I am passionate about giving golfers of all backgrounds opportunites to play and learn this great game. Helping them begin and grow as golfers and people is one of the most rewarding things. I look forward to getting to know you and help you improve!
