Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Listening is the key. I will ask multiple questions about your game and listen to what you are looking for. From there I will first watch the ball flight, then I will look at the swing. Once I have all of the answers I am looking for, then we get to work, starting from basic fundamentals, and working from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
- Certified coach through GolfTEC
- Trained and Certified golf coach by Gary Gilchrist
- Self Study of the golf swing

How did you get started teaching?
When I played proffesionally and was working with a coach, I noticed how good I was at picking causes of my errors out. When I decided to no longer play for myself, I began teaching, and it was a fairly easy transition.
What types of students have you worked with?
Beginners of all ages, all the way up to PGA Tour Players.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Watching a new professional, make it into the sectional qualifier for the US Open.
15 year old junior golfer, being offered a scholarship to the University of Washington.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do your best to interview them. For there to be success, you have to respect and have trust in them. I have seen players go to the biggest names in instruction and not get anything out of it. Everyone is different and not everyone matches with a coach. Your environment during the lesson time will greatly effect your ability to retain information and see improvement.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The biggest thing you want to know is the approach which the teacher takes during their lessons. Do you want a method, and look like every other golfer? Or do you want to simply improve who you are as a golfer.
