I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and an M.A. in Kinesiology from San Jose State University. My journey at Stanford began as a certified personal trainer at the National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) fitness center, and in 2017, I joined Stanford Health and Human Performance (HHP) as a PE golf instructor. Currently, I teach golf and Foundations of Health and Performance Psychology. I recently earned my Professional Golf Association apprentice status here at Stanford and am working towards becoming a PGA Class A Teaching Professional. My athletic background is diverse, including playing intercollegiate golf for Foothill College and American football at the University of Stirling in Scotland. Over the years, I've also enjoyed coaching youth sports, including basketball and golf.

Experienced Golf Coach and player, I work in the golf industry and I like to collect knowledge from other coaches, players, and professionals to pass on to my clients. Everyone is different, so I focus on the simple mechanics. All of my students have improved a lot! Thank you everyone for your support! My average client take around 5-10 lessons and after that they usually don’t need many more unless they are a beginner. I can help take 20-30 shots off your score! I work on the simple mechanics and simple changes anyone can make to the golf swing

"The lesson with Christopher was quite helpful, especially since he provided some pointers that I plan to work on, like improving my irons and wood shots. Though I still need more practice in those areas, I feel like I have a clearer idea of what to focus on. I guess I’ll just keep at it, though. Still, I think a little more practice will help me see real progress. If you’re looking to tighten up certain aspects of your game, Christopher’s guidance might be worth trying.

I’ve been coaching many sports for several years. Mainly Flag Football and Tackle Football for 4+ years at many different levels. Not only have I coached it but i’ve played and been surrounded by it in any way imaginable from media, coaching, reffing, playing etc etc.

I have been playing basketball for 30 years. I don't have the traditional journey of a basketball player. I wasn't given the chance. However, that never stopped me from sharpening my skills over the years by playing with and against better competition. Everything I learned was self-taught through repetition and observation. If you want to be a well-rounded basketball player, look no further than right here!

A lifelong basketball enthusiast, I bring a unique advantage to the court as an ambidextrous player, proficient with both hands. My dedication to the game extends to teaching players of all levels and ages. I eagerly look forward to the opportunity to meet you and share my passion. Have a fantastic day!
