Alexander Karhunen: University of Michigan Class of 2025

Alexander arrived at Sankaty via the First Tee of Western Michigan.  After spending four summers caddying at Sankaty from 2019-2023, he earned a Sankaty Head Foundation-Evans Scholarship where he attended the University of Michigan. He credits the profound and lasting impact the Sankaty Head Caddie Program had on his life trajectory.

“Both the SHCP and Evans Foundation, in their own way, have shaped me through a shared commitment to opportunity, character, and community. The lessons I learned as a caddie at Sankaty—humility, work ethic, and integrity—carried through my college experience.”

Today Alexander is a Recruitment Consultant at LVI Associates (a Phaidon International brand). He specializes in headhunting top engineering talent and consulting with engineering companies to optimize their hiring strategies.
