About
I have an incredible eye for any golf swing. I Graduated Golf Academy of America in 2012 with A.A. in Golf Complex Operations and Management. I've taught hundreds of children and adults, men and women all aspects of golf including specializing in mental training for the game. I have a military background in US Marines so my attention to detail is impeccable. I'm a matchup teacher not method. Finally I'm passionate about helping someone who thinks they cant enjoy the great game of golf, learn to love coming back to the course or range time and time again along with eventually beat their friends or opponents if necessary.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I always start with grip, aim and setup. If those aren't correct the whole swing breaks down. Once we've established a good repetitive grip, we move to setup and aim. This is usually half of the first lesson. I dont flood your mind with too many thoughts, my credo is to find the single biggest thing wrong with the golf swing and get that right, once done find the next biggest fault in the swing and work on that. Everyone wants to learn the driver so after working on the grip aim setup, we will learn to get a great shot with the driver (to ensure you come back :). I like to teach from the green back to the tee. So after grip aim setup, we work on chips and putts. After those are solid, its pitching, bunker play and specialty shots, (how to draw or fade). But we dont move on until you get the basics down. Once the lesson is over the student HAS to dedicate time on their own to memorize and repeat the proper way to perform said part of swing we are working on. I grew up on a golf course and understand the lamens terms for all aspects of the swing. I then studied the game of golf at a golf college and learned the science behind it. What makes me stand out as a superior instructor is I can relate the info of a proper swing to anyone whether they understand or not terms such as swaying, sliding, casting, coming over the top, supinating, pronating, chunking, blading, sculling, dipping etc.
