About
Have taught since 1990 from beginners to tour players. Enjoy staying current with the new technologies and learning programs to enhance the learning experience. My goal is to help my students reach their goals whether it is to win the Masters or break 100 for the first time. Both make me happy.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We first talk about their goals and make sure they are realistic based on time available for practice. Learn of any physical limitations and move into their motion. Then I perform 6 movement tests and measurements to develop a personalized foundation for their individual golf swing. There is no one golf swing that suites everyone. Our goal will be to find the best ways for you to swing the club to give you your best results. We identify the parameters and get to work. It's amazing how quickly people improve this biomechanics based program that is so simple. Can't wait to see you play your best golf.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Was Director of Instruction at the Country Club of Virginia prior to 2 head profession jobs. Then I coached Division 1 Virginia Commonwealth University for 22 years winning 23 tournaments, 10 NCAA Appearances and 3 players on the PGA Tour and European Tour. An in depth study of Bioswing Dynamics has enabled me to truly individualize instruction to any age, gender or ability level player. It makes the program simple and specific for that individual.

How did you get started teaching?
Started teaching by assisting my college golf coach with his free clinics he gave every week at the course the he owned where we practiced. Turned professional after college and my passion has always been learning all I can about the swing and how to best play the game. Many seminars and certifications.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners to players on the PGA Tour. Many of my college players have gone on to successful careers playing professionally all over the world. I prefer to work with players who already have a motion and can break 90 to help them learn to score better as opposed to building new golf swings from scratch. There are other teachers who have more patience for that part.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of my players shooting 60 in Web.com Tour Q School. To see all of the work completely come together with no limitations to what is possible.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you are a beginner or get your enjoyment from practicing a lot, seek out a swing teacher for which there are many. If you want to learn to play better golf find a coach who can help with all parts of the game including going out on the course.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Learn about their background and training. Golf instruction has now become a specialty all its own. It used to be that club pros gave most of the lessons and many do teach well, but keeping up with the world of golf instruction is a full time job and to find someone well rounded in all aspects is rare.
