Coming home!
I would like to take this opportunity to say "hello" to all the Milburn members that I have yet to meet. I am now just 3 weeks into my position as your Golf Course Superintendent at Milburn and my head is still spinning from all the transition items and work to do to get the course ready for the 2013 season. There are also many "finishing touches" to help with regarding the completion of the new clubhouse.
It is truly an honor to be selected as the Superintendent at Milburn. The quality of the golf course and history of the club are truly unmatched. Milburn has always been very special to me as I grew up less than a mile from the club and one of my first jobs in golf was on the maintenance staff at Milburn in the 1990's. For me, returning to Milburn as Superintendent has always been a dream. I am anxious to build upon the work done by Bill Maynard in his 13-year tenure at the club and do everything in my power to provide you a well-conditioned golf course day in and day out. You have a great golf course maintenance staff in place at Milburn and I look forward to leading their efforts. Assistant Superintendents Josh Frandsen and Greg Burdiek have been a great help as I have made the transition and tried to hit the ground running.
For those of you not familiar with my background, here is the cliff notes version: I have been the Golf Course Superintendent for the last 9+ years at Meadowbrook Golf & Country Club in Prairie Village. Prior to that I served as Golf Course Superintendent at Olympia Hills Golf & Conference Center in Olympia Hills, Texas; and as Assistant Superintendent at Indian Hills Country Club and Falcon Ridge Golf Course. My degree is in Horticulture (with an emphasis in Turf) from Kansas State University.
On the personal side, my wife Alisha and I have been married for 10 years. Alisha is a RN at Shawnee Mission Medical Center and is pursuing her Masters Degree in Nursing. We have three children that keep us entertained and very busy, Hannah (8), Drew (4) and Ben (1).
I look forward to meeting you on the course soon!
