About
As a current professional and former Division 1 collegiate golfer, I can offer invaluable insights into the game of golf. I know what it takes to be successful if you’re just starting out, or want to play better in tournaments.
I offer personalized golf instruction that is focused on the individual needs of the student. My main goal is to get people out on the golf course to enjoy this great game!
I am located at Glen Acres Golf & Country Club; just a 15 minute drive from downtown Seattle.
I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

The look on someone’s face after they hit a golf ball high and straight for the first time, is what it’s all about for me. I know that from that moment forward they will be a golfer for life. I truly enjoy when a knew student tells me about their goals for golf, and then setting a plan in place to hel them to get there. I view myself as more of a coach, rather than an instructor. Having worked my way up through junior, collegiate, and now professional golf, I know what the journey is like and I love to share it with others.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Everyone that I work with brings a unique background, body type, experience level etc. I like to find out how much golfing experience each person has, and what their goals are for our time together. My main goal is to make each lesson valuable for the student. I want to make sure that no one leaves without their concerns having been addressed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of the PGA PGM Golf Management Program from New Mexico State University. During my time there, I received a four-year education in golf instruction from the PGA of America. While at NMSU, I played on the Division 1 golf team and studied under the world’s leading authority in Club-Focused golf instruction. I am currently competing professionally in the U.S. and Canada.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes
How did you get started teaching?
I have been giving golf lessons since 2015. I got started teaching immediately after graduating from New Mexico State with my Class-A PGA Certification.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with everyone from complete beginners to Division 1 college golfers.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently, during a playing lesson, a student of mine told me that it was, “the most valuable lesson I have ever had”. When I hear things like that from my students, it confirms why I love to teach golf so much.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My advice to anyone looking for golf instruction is to find a teacher that you relate to and find value in, and stick with them. Far too often, I see people bounce from instructor to instructor, collecting conflicting ideas along the way. When you find success with an instructor, don’t stray away.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should determine how much time they are realistically going to invest into improving their golf game. This will allow the teacher to set the student’s path for success.
