Bio: Living just outside of Chattanooga, I was fortunate to grow up caddying at The Honors Course from 7th grade through college. The real perk was playing on Monday's but also meeting so many great people (and a few ass holes) as a looper for all those years. I spent a few years in Orlando after college and a couple in Atlanta while getting an MBA at Georgia Tech. Now I'm back in Chattanooga with my wife and two little kids. I've worked in tech and finance, but have always tried to figure out a way to marry my love of golf with my business background. I run acquisition efforts at Evergreen Partners, a boutique owner/operator of high end golf/country clubs across the US, where I help lead our acquisitions team, so always looking for clubs that might want to learn more about a recapitalization. I am an avid traveler and am hoping to play golf in all 50 states before I turn 50, I have 20 or so to go.
I have always loved golf, but it wasn't until I went to Sweetens Cove early in 2015 and met and befriended Rob Collins and GM Patrick Boyd, followed by a subsequent trip to Pasatiempo that I really got hooked on the architecture and learning as much as I could about that side of the game. Since then I've been a long time lurker here, listened to and read lots of content from Andy at the fried egg, and have been lucky to play many great classics since then. I love links golf and was blown away last year from a visit to Trinity Forest, I've yet to make it overseas to play, but can't wait to experience all that true links golf has to offer. I always love meeting new folks who like the game in the same ways I do, if any of you are in or around the Chattanooga area, please reach out. I'd love to join for a game, or just a drink.
