| Role: | General Manager |
| Serving Since: | 1997 |
After 20 years in the hospitality business, I am proud to be a part of the Oakmont leadership team. Starting at Columbian Country Club in Dallas when I turned 16 years of age I grew a true passion for the business. During College I became part of the Brinker International Corporate Training team assisting in restaurant openings and test kitchen analysis. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management from the University of North Texas I joined the ClubCorp team, originally in 1997 with a position at Las Colinas Country Club as a Service Director. In 1998, I accepted a position as Clubhouse Manager and eventually General Manager at a Member-Owned Country Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
I then rejoined the ClubCorp team in 2001 taking a challenging position at Stonebridge Ranch Country Club. At this multi-facility property, I focused on the operational management of food and beverage, pools, facilities maintenance, locker rooms, and housekeeping operations. After the birth of my son, Blake, I accepted the General Manager position at Oakmont in 2007 to be a little closer to home. With a true passion for success I maintain focus on building relationships and enriching lives.
