Greetings from Gainesville, Florida. As a 12 year old, I wrote in my first journal, I would like to be a golf instructor when I grow up, which established a lifelong intimacy with the game of golf and those who play it.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to learn from many of the top teachers in the world, and continue to grow with the game and share a passion for teaching all skill levels.

43 years of competitive golf allows for an understanding of how to play the game through demonstration and interpretation. Assisting with, writing the Preface, and co-editing The Fundamental Golf Swing 2013, a PGA Teaching and Learning Manual, has produced a clear foundation of how to teach an often times confusing game.

Golf instruction has changed significantly with the use of impact technology and great communication with fellow professionals. I use the state-of-the art FlightScope System that distinguishes and sets apart the Modern Day Golf Coach from old school instructors.

I have fairly recently played in two Major Golf Championships, USGA Senior Opens at Whistling Straits (2007) and Inverness Club (2011) but my favorite golf experiences are those where my students call me with stories of success, enjoyment and accomplishment at all levels.

Most of my students have become lifelong friends and I would be honored to become yours.
