Meet The Group

Troy grew up in Toronto and spent 20 years playing hockey. That included several seasons at the semi-professional level before he joined the varsity team at Ryerson University, where he studied entrepreneurship. Those two paths came together when he founded Trility Golf Group.

When his hockey career ended, golf filled the competitive gap. It gave him something to keep working at and a standard he could always push toward. What drew him in most was the mental side of the game. “It’s a game played six inches between your ears,” Troy says. “The continuous chase for perfection that never will come keeps you coming back time and time again. It’s the most beautiful game in the world.” That passion is behind everything Trility does, and so is his goal of making the experience better for everyone who plays.

For Troy, the best part of the work is the people. Every event brings hundreds of new faces, and building real relationships with them has meant the most to him. Many of the people he met at Trility’s first PGA TOUR event, The American Express, are still close friends today. He also loves seeing the craft behind each course he visits and the attention to detail that goes into the member experience. “Golf is a series of little things that add up to make the entire experience unique,” he says, and Trility’s on-site Player Experiences are built around that idea.

Most of all, Troy credits the team. He sees Trility as a close group, all bought into the same vision and pushing toward the same goal, and he says watching that effort pay off has been the most rewarding part of building the company. “They keep me motivated,” he says, “and it’s an honour to lead them into battle each day.”

Away from work, you’ll find him with family and friends, out golfing, fishing or hiking, or watching sunday football cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tim grew up in Rockford, Illinois, playing every sport he could, and soccer quickly became his first choice. Golf came from his dad, who played every Saturday morning and got Tim into the game early. “That’s also where my quick pace of play comes from,” he says.

Soccer took Tim to Western Illinois University on a scholarship, where he studied Hospitality Management with the goal of working in private clubs. That’s where his love of golf took off. He spent his summers working in the kitchen at The Mauh-Nah-Tee-See Club in Rockford and interning at the Blackthorn Club in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Those two clubs cemented his passion for the game and for private club life.

After graduation, Tim played five seasons of professional soccer in the USL, with Indy Eleven in Indianapolis and the Chattanooga Red Wolves in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the city he now calls home. When he retired from soccer, joining Trility let him bring his two passions together, sport and hospitality, in what he calls a dream job. “Why work for one club when I can work with all of them?”

What Tim loves most about the work is seeing hospitality at the highest level. Every club Trility partners with goes above and beyond for its members, and he admires the attention each one gives to every detail on the property.

Away from work, Tim coaches high school soccer at the Baylor School, cooks, and cheers on the Tennessee Volunteers with his wife and daughter.

Jared grew up in Chicago and has been playing soccer since he was five, starting with travel teams as a kid. He went on to study Criminal Justice at Middle Tennessee State University and joined the Air Force at 21.

Golf came later. At 25, his best friend introduced him to the game, and Jared caught the golf bug right away. “It’s been my mission to never let him beat me again,” he says, “and so far, that’s working out pretty well.” Through all of it, his friends and family have been in his corner, and they remain his top priority.

What Jared loves most about Trility is the passion every team member brings. He says it may be the first job he’s had where everyone shows up genuinely happy to be there. “They say you don’t have to work a day in your life if you love what you do,” he says, “and this company drives that quote home to a tee.” (Pun intended.)

Away from work, Jared stays busy working out, playing soccer and playing guitar. He’s also known for getting the crowd going with “White Wedding” on karaoke night, and as a Chicago native, he still flies the W from time to time.

Justin grew up in Kingston, New Hampshire, playing sports his whole life. He picked up golf toward the end of high school and went on to attend the University of Rhode Island. What has always drawn him to sports is the competition and the way they bring people together.

That same idea is what Justin loves most about Trility. He enjoys being part of a great team, building relationships with people who share his passion for golf, and getting to travel to new places along the way. “I enjoy being part of an industry that brings people together,” he says. For Justin, the goal at every event is helping clubs create memorable experiences for their members and guests, and finding new ways to make each one special.

Away from work, Justin spends his time outdoors with friends, firing up the grill, staying active, and getting on or near the water whenever he can. He’s also a loyal fan of the Boston sports teams.

Jake grew up in Hoboken, New Jersey, and was thrown into just about every sport you can imagine. Lacrosse became his passion, and he went on to play collegiately at Pace University in New York. His dad introduced him to golf during his senior year of high school, and coming from a baseball and lacrosse background, he admits the transition was anything but easy. What hooked him was the game’s unpredictability and mental challenge. “Every round is different,” Jake says, “and the constant ups and downs make it a grind that keeps me coming back for more.”

Competition has always been part of who he is. Coming from lacrosse and a sales background, Jake says he’s wired to compete, build relationships and find ways to get better, and he brings that mindset to Trility every day. What excites him most is the chance to turn something he genuinely loves into a career. “For me, it’s about more than just a job,” he says. “It’s the opportunity to combine my personality, competitive drive and love for golf into something I can truly take pride in.”

Away from work, Jake is a family-and-friends guy who spends as much time as he can with the people closest to him and his dogs. He’s always chasing the next adventure, whether that’s running, working out or playing pickleball. Snowboarding is a big one: every winter, he and his college friends take a trip to explore bucket-list mountains around the world. He’s also a huge sports fan who collects NFL and MLB cards, always hunting for the next big find.
