His current role is PGA Head Professional/General Manager/Vice-President. Mike has won the Gateway Assistant and Regular Division “Player of the Year” honor, Gateway PGA Professional of the Year, Gateway PGA Junior Development Award, and the President’s Plaque. Mike has worked extensively on PGA Golf Day which raised over $100,000 for local charities. He’s also raised over $9,000 individually for Folds of Honor. In 2017 and 2018 he raised over $3,000 by running in the St. Jude Marathon.
“My goal in life is to leave “the course” better than I found it. PGA REACH is a perfect place for a PGA Professional to raise awareness and give back through the wonderful game of golf.”
