About
I am a PGA certified teaching professional with over 15 years of teaching experience. I have taught at nationally ranked golf course facilities and for Golf Digest Schools. I am also the Men's and Women's Head Coach at Arizona Christian University, both teams ranked inside the Top 25 in the NAIA. I have been a caddy on the LPGA Tour and have been around the best and worst players.
My goal is not to complicate things but to explain how the club is designed to be used and how to play the game. Whether you want to play for social enjoyment, business, or tournament competition, I want you to understand your game and develop into your own coach. Oh, and the trash talking lessons are free of charge!
Lessons will take place at an indoor golf studio. Indoor lessons are private, climate controlled, and utilize current technology to show you what is actually going on in your swing. We utilize launch monitor technology as well as video technology to give you the information needed to learn faster. Plus, there are no stuffy dress codes to adhere to!

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Individual lessons are typically 45 minutes long but I am flexible to the needs of the player. Package and group deals are available at a discount depending on the goals and schedule of the student(s). Improvement plans are tailored to the individual needs of the player.
How did you get started teaching?
I began playing tournament golf as a junior and played throughout high school, college, and professionally. I have a perspective on the game from many angles, including as a player, a caddie on the club and tour level, a collegiate golf coach, and a certified instructor.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with men, women, and juniors of levels of ability from beginners to tournament players. I have worked with elite athletes as well as blind players.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Have realistic goals in mind and be willing to practice between lessons. As with anything we try to learn, its one thing to have the information, its another thing to put in the time and repetition needed to improve.
