PROFILE achievement was more of a life- changing decision I made five years ago. Golf has always been my No. 1 passion in life, but growing up in Montana, the sport is seasonal and thus the same for the industry. After being unhappy for a few years making use of my finance degree, I made the decision to leave my family, friends, and my current management position to pursue a career in golf. There were many factors that made the move a tough decision, but the end result of loving what I do for a living has made it my greatest personal achievement. ••• what might someone be surprised to know about you? I'm legally blind in one eye after an accident three years ago. ••• what do you like to do when you're not working? Golf and travel. Both at the same time is even better. ••• how long have you been playing golf? 26 years. ••• Best round ever? 66 at Bill Roberts Golf Course in Helena, Montana. ••• most memorable golf moment? My second hole-in-one takes the cake for sure. After searching for my ball for 10 minutes on a blind-shot par 3, one of my playing partners located it snuggled up next to the pin in the bottom of the cup. As if that wasn't enough already, I ended up winning the tournament by one shot. ••• Best advice you have for someone planning a golf event? Visit golftournamentmanagement.com. We revamped the site last fall, and it is now more comprehensive than anything you will find on running tournaments. It has everything from a calculator to get a rough estimate of what your event would cost, to hundreds of short articles and videos produced by directors like myself on every topic you can imagine. continued from the previous page… CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HOSTING A GOLF EVENT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
