Jonathon Goodman – Controller

After graduating from Arizona State University with a Master’s in Agribusiness, I spent almost seven years in Southeast Asia with my base being in Hong Kong. I worked with a private Canadian company which specialized in K through 12 education for expatriates. We constructed four schools in China, Hong Kong, India and Singapore, with satellite campus in Tokyo. After moving back to the United States, I worked for Merrill Lynch in the private client money management and after becoming a certified public accountant joined the firm of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (RSMUS), where I started in the commercial audit practice but soon found my niche in the hospitality industry. After working for almost 8 years in South Florida, I trans-

ferred to Atlanta to service the national hospitality group. After leaving McGladrey, I landed on the other side of the table as a Director of Finance for Fairfield Glade Community Club in Crossville, Tennessee, and then I joined Frenchman’s Creek in January of 2018. I am married with three children, Benjamin (University of Ten- nessee Chattanooga), Sophie (Kennesaw State University) and Abigail whose is 11 years old. When I am not buried in spreadsheets, I officiate both high school and college football and can be seen riding my motorcycle.

Director of Finance — Michael Chesnovitz Michael was born and raised in New Jersey, where he learned at an early age the joys of putting round numbers into square holes. After deciding against pursuing his dreams of becoming a starving jazz musician and obtaining degrees in Accounting and Economics from Rutgers University, Michael began his accounting career, spending the next 12 years in Retail accounting. In 1992, he was hired by Dow Jones and Co, forecasting circulation data for both the Wall Street Journal and Barrons magazine. Moving to South Florida in 2003, he eventually found his way into the world of Country Clubs, being hired by Admiral’s Cove as the Assistant Controller,

moving quickly into the Controller’s chair. Since 2013, Michael has been the Controller here at Frenchman’s Creek until his recent promotion to Director of Finance. He looks forward to working closely with the members of Frenchman’s Creek. Michael lives in Royal Palm Beach where he spends most of his free time spoiling his two dogs, Wilbur and Sadie.
