EXPERIENCED GREENKEEPER | GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE | TURF MANAGEMENT

Personal Profile

Life outside of work is best spent doing things I genuinely enjoy. Golf and skiing have always been a big part of that, along with hiking and simply getting out into nature. Being in the mountains, discovering a new trail or spending a day on the golf course is how I like to spend my time.

Family and friends are equally important to me. Whether it is a dinner together, a weekend away or just catching up over a drink, I appreciate good company and the time spent with the people around me. Having lived in different countries has also given me a love for travelling and seeing new places, while never losing appreciation for the places that feel like home.

A simple mix of good people, fresh air, a bit of adventure and a round of golf is pretty hard to beat.
