I am a strategy and financial consultant with Global Golf Advisors ("GGA"), a highly specialized consulting firm focused on Golf, Private Club, Real Estate and Resort businesses.

Since joining GGA in 2008, I have had the privilege of helping over 100 clients develop and implement a game plan for success with their golf related business assets.

As a Partner in the firm, GGA clients benefit from my expertise in:

• Strategic planning,
• Corporate governance,
• Project management,
• Market analysis,
• Pricing strategy,
• Marketing tactics,
• Financial analysis,
• Complex modeling,
• Feasibility studies and business valuations,
• Operational and performance analysis,
• Professional information systems,
• Business process engineering, and
• Organizational risk management.

Prior to joining GGA, I gained two years of valuable experience with a global technology firm managing the business solutions division and consulting with golf clubs to develop business requirements for golf operations and accounting software.

I began my career in 2001 with the Business Process Risk Consulting Practice at Arthur Anderson which became the Enterprise Risk Services practice at Deloitte. I earned my Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) designation at Deloitte in 2005 while working as a Manager on major client accounts in the racing and gaming, consumer products, financial institutions and manufacturing industries.

In my youth I helped a golf equipment manufacturer design and implement an accounts payable and receivable process and dispatched trucks for a concrete block manufacturer. I also spent four years working as a maintenance crew member at a high-end private golf club (Beacon Hall Golf Club in Aurora, Ontario).

I graduated from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, where I was an Academic All Canadian Varsity hockey player, with two Bachelors degrees:

• Bachelor of Arts in Economics, commerce focus, and
• Bachelor of Physical and Health Education, kinesiology and sports management focus.

I am an avid golfer, hockey player and skier and thoroughly enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures the w
