Calgary
Summary
Passionate young assistant superintendent who has been in the industry for 6 years who has recently moved to Calgary, Alberta from the UK. to pursue my career and work up in the industry. Originally starting my working career as a chef I find it has helped me in my greenkeeping career to have a fine eye for attention to detail and to work within time constraint, I will never leave a job unless I am 100% happy with it. I enjoy working on a golf course being outside in all weathers and passing my knowledge onto anyone who is willing to learn.
