Larkspur, CO – October 1, 2025 – The PGA REACH Colorado Foundation is proud to announce the appointment of Jonathan (Jon) Stirling to its distinguished Trustee and Advisory Board.
Jon currently serves as a partner and investment advisor at Westwind Capital, where he helps individuals and families achieve their financial goals with a thoughtful, client-first approach. In 2018, Jon and his wife relocated from Chicago to Colorado, where they have since made their home in Castle Pines with their young daughter, who is almost three years old. Jon looks forward to introducing her to the game of golf and sharing with her the sport that has shaped so much of his own personal and professional journey.
Golf has been at the center of Jon’s life since childhood. Growing up in Fargo, North Dakota, the golf course was his “daycare,” and he began working in the bag room and cleaning carts at just eight years old. His passion for the game led him to pursue a degree in Professional Golf Management at Ferris State University, where he graduated in 2005 as a Class A PGA Professional.
Over the course of his career, Jon gained invaluable experience working alongside some of the country’s most respected PGA of America Golf Professionals. His professional path includes positions at prestigious facilities such as Geneva National in Wisconsin; TPC Avenel in Maryland; and Marriott’s Shadow Ridge, Rancho Cañada, and Mountain Vista in California. He also served as part of the PGA of America team during the Ryder Cup at Oakland Hills in Michigan.
While Jon ultimately chose to transition out of the golf industry and into financial advising, he has remained deeply connected to the game and its values. Reflecting on his career, Jon expressed gratitude for the many opportunities golf has provided him and emphasized his excitement to give back through this new role.
“Golf has given me so much throughout my life. I am truly grateful, and I look forward to supporting PGA REACH Colorado’s mission of growing the game and making a positive impact in our community,” said Stirling.
As a Trustee, Jon will join a group of dedicated leaders who help guide PGA REACH Colorado’s initiatives in youth development, supporting the military, and promoting inclusion in the game of golf. His unique blend of professional experience, community focus, and lifelong passion for the sport will be an asset to the Foundation as it continues to expand its reach and impact across Colorado.
