2027 GCSAA Board of Directors

Listen. Learn. Lead. Serve.

My candidacy grows from a long-standing commitment to the profession and the belief that leadership begins by listening.

Why I am running

Give back to a profession that has given me so much.

Golf course management has provided a career, lifelong friendships, mentors and opportunities I could never have imagined when I started. I want to help strengthen those opportunities for others.

My focus is simple: People • Profession • Purpose. Develop people. Strengthen the profession. Serve with purpose.

PEOPLE • PROFESSION • PURPOSELEAVE

LISTEN • LEARN • LEAD • SERVE
PEOPLE

Support education, mentorship, career pathways and professional growth at every level.

PROFESSION

Strengthen our voice.

Continue building recognition, advocacy, chapter connections and practical member value.

PURPOSE

Serve with intent.

Listen to members, learn from different perspectives and help leave the association stronger.

Leave people, courses, chapters, the association and the profession stronger than we found them.
