Professional Profile
Dedicated and highly accomplished golfer with extensive experience at elite amateur, collegiate, and professional levels. Having represented both Ulster and Ireland from the age of 13, I developed a strong competitive foundation before earning a Division I golf scholarship to Arkansas State University, where I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a minor in Marketing.

Since turning professional in June 2023, I have competed internationally on the Asian Tour, HotelPlanner Tour, and Clutch Pro Tour, gaining valuable experience performing in high-pressure environments and alongside some of the game’s leading professionals. Alongside my playing career, I have spent the past six months coaching golfers at Dogleg Golf in Strabane under the guidance of PGA Professional Seamus Duffy. This role has allowed me to develop my coaching skills, build strong relationships with players of all abilities, and further my passion for helping others improve their game.

I am enthusiastic about contributing to a progressive golf club environment through coaching, member engagement, and the promotion of the game while continuing my own professional development within the golf industry.
