I was born and raised in the small upstate New York town of Norwich. I’m the oldest of three and turned 35 in May of 2010. I’m married to my wonderful wife of ten years, Melisa and we have a beautiful daughter who was born in March of 2005 and a son who was born in August 2009.

I began my golfing life when I was about 12 years old at the Riverbend Golf Club in New Berlin, N.Y. After a few years at Riverbend my father and I joined the Canasawacta Country Club in our hometown of Norwich, N.Y. I began playing golf as much as I possibly could. I joined the boys varsity golf team at Norwich High School my freshman year and played all four years during high school.

When I was 15, I started working in the proshop at the Canasawacta Country Club. It was my first job and I was thrilled to be working in the golf business.

After my high school graduation,I attended the State University of New York @ Delhi and majored in Golf Course Operations. While at Delhi I was a member of the men’s golf team. Upon graduation from SUNY Delhi I moved to the central Florida area to begin my career in the golf business.

The Little Linksters program is slated to go “national” in late 2010 or early 2011 with the formation of Little Linksters franchises which PGA and LPGA Professionals can purchase and put in place in their areas. The goal and motto of Little Linksters, LLC is to “Bringing the game of golf to the littlest of golfers.
