"Stu made himself available to give me one quick lesson that shaved off multiple strokes from my game. Reminding myself of his tips not only helped me at the range but carried its way to the course. He improved my stance and my swing and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor who will meet you at your skill level. Kelly H

With 22 years in combat sports and athlete development, I bring the kind of experience you can't teach—you earn it. I competed exclusively in the super heavyweight division, finishing my amateur kickboxing career at 12-0 before turning professional, where I went 3-0 in kickboxing and 1-0 in professional boxing. Along the way, I earned three championship titles: TCB Illinois State Amateur Champion (1997), TBC Windy City Champion (1998), and TCB Midwest Champion (1999). Beyond my own competition history, coaching is where I’ve built my legacy. I’ve trained and cornered dozens of male and female athletes across boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, helping them build confidence, sharpen technique, and step into the ring prepared to win. My approach is equal parts technical detail, discipline, and mindset development—because a fighter’s body follows where their belief leads. I’m not here just to teach punches and kicks. I’m here to develop competitors, leaders, and resilient athletes who know how to push through, get better, and show up like champions.

"I hesitate to give constructive critique via message. As we know, words are not always interpreted as intended. That being said, here we go: I have worked with 4 personal trainers over the years. IMO you are the best. You know how the body works, what we should be feeing and where we should feel it. You have shown me that the smallest tweak can make the biggest difference. You’ve been through some things and you also know how the body doesn’t work (injuries) and you are careful about that. I like your training style and if I am not being challenged, neither of us is doing our best. Thank you for not swearing during our sessions. Please don’t tell me I’ve done something well, when I can feel I haven’t. False “kudos” are not appreciated. I understand we live in a time where everyone expects “good job” just for breathing, but when a person who is critical tells me my form/technique was good, I can believe them. Thank you for reminding me to “get out of my head”, but sometimes I need to step back for a minute; take a pause to reset. We’ve had some heated discussions and I’m fine with that as long as we come to an understanding by the end of the session. We play hard and a few clashes are to be expected as long as we have respect. I hope to meet the corporate people next time they come in. I will tell them how I appreciate your knowledge and workout advice. Sorry. Not so short.

"I liked that every step is broken down and that she has the patience to work with me before moving on. I really enjoy the cultural aspect of the lessons she gives about performing, and the different styles of music she’s experienced in. Her lessons have helped me apply even very basic knowledge to challenging situations.

My deep background in tennis and racket sports gives me a technical edge most pickleball coaches simply don’t have. I understand spin, footwork, and court geometry at a level that translates directly. Add I entrepreneurial drive and hands-on coaching ambition, and I bring both the skill set and the passion to genuinely develop players.

"I’ve been competing at the 4.5 level for two years and hit a wall. My coach completely rebuilt my reset mechanics, tightened my erne execution, and gave me a clear game plan for tournament play. Within two months I won my first gold medal at a regional event. This coaching is the real deal.

Racket sports expertise transfers seamlessly to padel’s unique blend of tennis technique and wall play, giving me an instant coaching foundation most instructors lack. On top of that, I’m actively building a padel club in Algeria from the ground up, that level of investment in the sport signals real passion and vision that players and investors alike will trust.

"I play in a regional padel league and needed serious tactical upgrades. My coach analyzed my pair dynamics, fixed my tendency to over-smash from the back, and drilled transition patterns until they became second nature. Our team jumped two divisions this season. Coaching at its absolute finest.

Unlock your golfing potential with personalized instruction. I began playing golf at age 7, started playing competitively at age 10, was a successful junior player and played in several national level events. I went to college to become a golf professional. I followed that path after graduating for 6 years and earned PGA Class A Professional accreditation while at Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale, IL. While working as a professional, I gave countless lessons to players of all abilities ranging from juniors just starting the game, to elite level junior players at the high school level, ladies, seniors, and even handicapped/disabled golfers. While I left the PGA Pro life for a career in technology in the Golf Industry, I have remained a lifelong student of the dynamics of golf swing, short game, and all aspects of the game. I play 70+ rounds each year and love to compete or just play for fun. One thing I know, Golf is not one-size-fits-all sport, fun can be had at all levels if you match the course to your ability and the approach to play that aligns with to your athletic capabilities. I prefer to tailor my approach to each student and what goals they are trying to achieve. Whether you're just starting to learn the game, or been playing for years and just struggling with a few things, I can help get you on track and working on sound principles and fundamentals. Let's get started on a track to better, more enjoyable golf.
