Chris is originally from Plymouth, New Hampshire, where he grew up and at the age of 12 began working in the golf industry.  He worked in golf course maintenance throughout high school, including the construction of the back 9 holes at Nippo Lake.

After graduating from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation Management and Business Administration, Chris moved to southern California to attend the Golf Academy of San Diego.  Upon graduation in 2002, he began his career at Morgan Run Resort and Club as an Assistant Golf Professional, during which time he completed a three level apprenticeship to earn his “Class A” PGA Membership in 2006. 

Chris transferred back to the east coast in April 2007 to become the First Assistant Golf Professional at Ipswich Country Club and was promoted to Head Golf Professional the following year.

Since becoming Nippo Lake’s Head Professional in 2009, Chris has taken the Member tournaments to the next level and created the Annual Nippo Lake Cup and new this year, the Annual Nippo Lake Fourball.  In addition, he introduced the Get Golf Ready Program and has developed a reputation as a highly regarded Golf Instructor.  Coming into his fourth season at Nippo Lake, Chris has developed many relationships with the Members and Guests of the Club over the past 3 years. These relationships have begun and grown through the Members’ participation in tournaments, playing golf together, and providing instructional services.  Please let Chris know if there is anything he and/or his staff can do to improve your experience at Nippo Lake Golf Club.
