Mission Statement

Having been born and raised in Portland, Oregon, no one appreciates or loves the golf in this area more than I do. My goal with The Umpqua Bank Challenge is to continue the incredible tradition of superior golf in the city of Portland and the state of Oregon, engage the business community behind a great event and raise significant dollars for charity. Golf and charity go hand in hand and I am committed to do what I can to support those non-profit organizations whose services better the lives of Oregon's children and their families. And, it goes without saying, have some fun along the way!
