About Tony

I grew up in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, spending my childhood on the golf course, both playing and working, working my way up from outside service and caddy into a management role. During that time, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in Advertising and I played 4 years on the football team.I started my professional career in the club industry in Southern California and then moved to Glendale and Sedona Arizona for nine years where I managed two different country clubs. I joined Kemper Sports in 2014 and held General Manager positions at Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Monterey, CA and Royal Melbourne Country Club in Long Grove, IL.I am excited to be at Rolling Green Country Club because of its long history and stature in the Chicago area as well as the opportunity to join Invited. I have a passion for the hospitality industry and, in particular, interacting with the Membership and getting to know your families.

About Michael

I was born and raised in Glen Ellyn, attended Marquette University earning degrees in Finance and Marketing (2009), and lived in Chicago from 2009 -2020. In the midst of COVID my wife and I relocated temporarily to Cleveland to be closer to her family – now that some restrictions have been eased and we can more easily travel in between cities, we have decided to plant our roots in the suburbs (we just bought a home in Wheaton). I spent the first 11 years of my career working in recycling – a field that I grew to love and still strongly advocate for (I’ll try not to be seen digging plastic out of the garbage). Aside from my interest in trash, I love playing golf (a passion that drew me to this position), live music (my wife and I would try to make it to a few shows per month pre-COVID), and sports teams that will always make me sad (Bears, White Sox, Marquette hoops, etc.). I am excited to continue meeting all of you and look forward to meeting your fabulous guests!

About Tina

I was born and raised in the Quad Cities, where I spent most of my time as a child in design showrooms due to my family’s business. I studied graphic/interior design in college and as a result, I have an eye for design that I bring into my event planning. I came to Chicago after college and eventually landed in the Northwest suburbs where I raised my family. I started my career with American Express Business Travel as a corporate travel and event coordinator. I stayed in the corporate sector for the majority of my career until about 5 years ago when I made the change to private events and weddings. I have planned some pretty great events and parties! I am excited to collaborate with clients to blend my expertise and creativity with your vision, to create memorable experiences. When I am not working, I love spending time with family & friends, attending concerts, and enjoying the outdoors. I am a bit of a foodie which is inspired by my travels. I’ve been blessed to have traveled to over 30 countries and most of the United States. Some of my favorite travel destinations are Italy, Spain, Greece and Bali, Indonesia. I am thrilled to be the Events Sales Director at Rolling Green Country Club and I look forward to seeing what the future holds!

About John

I have worked in the service field my entire life. From service plumber to the food and beverage industry and always enjoy the happiness I can provide to someone's day. My brother was the Executive Chef here at Rolling Green for approximately 5 years and when the Maintenance Director position opened I knew I would be a perfect fit. As a child we would come here with our cousin's who were members at the time and always enjoyed the club life so Rolling Green holds a special place in my heart. I have been with the club now since March of 2019 and look forward to serving all of our members for years to come.
