What is your mission?
Personally – To be a great husband and father and always have time to spend with my family.
Professionally – To provide a great environment for our members, guests and staff to enjoy while at the Kamloops Golf & CC.

If you could achieve one thing within your field, what would it be?
Be recognized as someone who takes pride in what they do and always has time to listen to members, guests, and staff.

Where do you want your business/organization to be in five years?
I see our golf club continuing to evolve and grow with some of the programs we are implementing this year. Finding a great balance of Members and green fee players is what will continue to make us successful.

Who do you consider to be a forerunner within your field?
The golf industry has so many great people and facilities with excellent attributes. A facility that I have always thought really stands out in our region as a leader is Predator Ridge. It is one of the finest golf resorts in the country and a leader in golf.

Quality products, fair pricing, and friendly service.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome at the Kamloops Golf & CC over the past year. I am excited for the upcoming season and working beside you to take our club to the next level.

How does your business/organization impact the community?
The golf club is very active in contributing too many charitable causes. This year I will personally be participating in the PGA of BC Golf a thon raising money for ALS, I plan to play over 200 holes in one day. We are also hosting several junior golf initiatives this year including a stop on the Zone 2 Junior Tour April 23rd.

If you were trapped in an elevator with several wealthy investors from any field, which field would you want them to be experts in?
Business, regardless of what you do for a living I feel that an expert in business has skills and knowledge that can be related to your personal life and be of assistance.

What would say to them/talk about?
I would ask them what got them started as I always feel that getting started is the toughest hurdle to overcome. I would also want to know what drives them to continue.

If I could change one thing about Kamloops, it would be:
More Wineries (it’s happening!)

What do you think makes Kamloops great?
The people
