For the younger guys in the business. I was a bad father when my kids were small and a worse husband. Divorce changed me and my kids’ lives. I learned to be a Dad and embraced it. My oldest just got his Masters and my youngest is getting married in the fall. It’s never too late.

So you want to be a superintendent? On call 24/7, no matter the weather it’s your fault, greens speeds, cart traffic, mentoring kids who don’t want to get up, motivating an entire crew daily. Getting to see the sun come up every day. Still the best job. Love it.
