2026 Coeur54 Tournament

Although I grew up in rural southern Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene area has always held a special place in my heart. My father was raised here, and many of my childhood memories are tied to spending time in the Panhandle with family and friends. For the past 18 years, I’ve been proud to call Hayden home. After graduating from Parma High School, I was fortunate to play golf for Lewis-Clark State College before completing my degree at the University of Idaho, where I earned a B.S. in Organizational Science. For the past 25+ years, I’ve worked in the insurance industry and currently serve as General Manager for Panhandle Insurance/Kuespert Insurance. Beyond my professional career, I am actively involved in leadership and service. I currently serve as President-Elect of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of Idaho (IIABI), Regional Director for IIABI, I serve as a Fire Commissioner for the Northern Lakes Fire District, have volunteered as an Idaho Hunter/Bowhunter Education instructor for 22 years, officiated youth soccer and baseball, and previously served as President of the Board of Directors for Avondale Golf Course. My passion for the outdoors drives my dedication to mentoring kids and encouraging them to explore and enjoy nature. In my free time, you’ll find me making the most of all North Idaho has to offer with my wonderful wife, Amanda, and our three “kids”: Andrew (17), Abby (13), and Pearl, our spirited Mini Labradoodle. Whether it’s golfing, hunting, fishing, or skiing, we love embracing the lifestyle and beauty of this incredible community. As an avid golfer and proud member of the community, I have been extremely grateful for my spent involved in COEUR54. It has been a great way to build relationships and support countless tremendous causes in our local community through golf. I am thankful and humbled by the support from so many donors over the years and look forward to continuing what has become a great tradition in our community.
