Originally from the small town Monifeith on the East Coast of Scotland, I grew up playing classic courses such as Carnoustie, St. Andrews and Montrose to name a few. From an early age I was interested in golf design and construction, interning on some of the local courses in preparation for the ’99 Open championship. Encouraged by my experience I enrolled at Elmwood College to study a HND in Golf Course management during which time I interned in the US on a new course build.

Upon finishing college I started with a construction company, learning the trade from finishing to operating heavy plant. Over the years I travelled with different firms around Europe developing my shaping and design experience and have had the opportunity to work with different architects on different landscapes.
