Troy is an Assistant Golf Professional at the Itasca Country Club. I do everything from managing the first tee to instructing over 130 kids in the junior golf program, as well as help manage the shop, the golf staff, and tournaments. Prior to my starting my golf career I worked for Honeywell as a Project Manager deploying software around the world. I enjoy helping, training, and coaching people, especially with golf. I developed the love of coaching from all the people I had to train around the world and from all the youth sports teams (50+) I had the pleasure of coaching. I think golf is the greatest game and I am thrilled to share my passion and knowledge of the game.
