A Waterloo, Ontario, Canada-based freelance golf writer and communications consultant who grew up playing golf at Westmount Golf & Country Club - home to two-time U.S. Amateur champ Gary Cowan and a hang-out for Moe Norman. Writing has appeared in the following publications: PGATOUR.com, Golf Course Architecture, Golf Course Management, Golf Course Industry, Golfdom, Golf Canada, ScoreGolf, Golf Ontario, Fairways, Pro Shop magazine, and Yahoo!
