Eric comes to us from the Brentwood Country Club in Los Angeles, where he has been for the past 18 years and the Head Golf Professional for the last five years. Before Brentwood, Eric lived in the Coachella Valley, where he met his wife and began his golf career at Monterey Country Club. Eric is a PGA of America Class A Professional with a certificate in Golf Management and a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education from Don Bosco College Seminary in the Philippines. Eric is an active volunteer with youth and veterans and enjoys sharing his love of the game with others. Eric served as a golf coach at University High School, reviving the boy’s golf team and forming the first-ever girl’s golf team between 2013-2020. Eric prides himself on customer service and Member satisfaction. Under his supervision, his current golf operations team has developed a reputation of being among the most welcoming and professional staff in the golf industry. He looks forward to bringing his expertise to the Private and emphasizing staff development and training. He enjoys creating fun and exciting tournaments for different categories of the membership and is already working on an innovative golf calendar for next season. The Temena family is looking forward to relocating back to the Coachella Valley to be closer to grandparents and join the PGA WEST family. Eric, his wife Sunshine, and their 11-year-old son Kaden will be full-time residents; his older two children Kevin (22) and Kara (20) are currently away in college.
