Q: What is your favorite thing about golf.

I like the fact that you can never be satisfied, there is always something you can get better at. Whether it's your putting inside 5 feet or distance control with wedges or hitting a draw with the driver, there is always something to tinker with and improve upon.

Q: What do you like most about working for American Golf?

I love the people and being able to bring something new to the company. Social media is a great way for our customers to stay connected with our courses and learn more about the game of golf. My goal has always been for our courses to be a great resource for our customers and help them develop a connection to the game and our properties.

Q: What are some of your passions outside of work?

I feel very blessed to incorporate my passions into my work. I love the game of golf and I've always been interested in how technology and social media are continually playing a huge role in shaping the world we live in today. I think it's really fascinating how social media facilitates opportunities for people and businesses that have never existed before. I like to be active and outside and hang out with friends and family- people that know me say I'm always laughing. I also love the game of football and I owe so many of the opportunities I've had and things I've achieved because of it. It's had a major part in shaping my life and who I am today.
