I have been designing golf courses since I was in Junior High School. I remember creating a course with plaster on an old door that we had. I put the door on the floor and began molding the holes. After they had dried I went back and painted them. I used to do a lot of layouts on paper back then, and that is how it all started. The first computer golf design game that I had was JNSE back in the early 90's. I thought it was fantastic. I took right to it and began designing courses. I was still using this when I walked into a store in the spring of 1997 as saw Jack Nicklaus 4. I could not believe the graphics on the box; and then I saw it - It had a course designer too! I was thrilled with it and began to convert a few of the 90+ courses I had done with JNSE. Sea Breeze was my last JNSE course and I released it in JN4. I have been very happy with JN5 / JN6 and look forward to major designer changes in JN7. Since I mainly do course design, I feel the tools are very good. My biggest complaint about the designer is that I would like to have the ability to create stone and railroad tie walls automatically like JNSE. It kept the water and land connection very clean and I hope JN7 will have it.  

I am 61 years old and live in Tucson, Arizona USA.

I have a lovely wife and 3 kids (37,28,25). I play golf about 3 times a week and am a scratch handicap golfer. I play Titleist golf clubs

My favorite designers are: Brian Silvernail, Steve Opfer, Jeff Jones, Scott Chesney. Ken Mchale, Eric Roeder, Neil Lindsey, Matt Rose, JR Reel, Jim Crittenden, Andy Hinds, Andrew Bernstein, Jeff Helton, Shawn Drake, Peter McKay, Mark Huxford and Warren Stephens.

I truly enjoy looking at everyones course designs. They all have something positive to offer and helps in getting new ideas.
