My mission as a golf teacher is to identify and optimize your innate biomechanics in order for you to consistently hit higher quality golf shots. I captained my golf teams both in high school at Hanover Park and College at Susquehanna University, and have been giving free lance instruction to friends and family for the last 10 years. Seeing the successes of my clients has encouraged me to branch out to a broader base of golfers of all levels of skill. My knowledge of the game comes from 25 years of playing experience, caddying for professionals, and studying the best players and instructors in the world. I believe what separates me from most instructors is my method of assessing your natural movements and working within those parameters to create your ideal grip, setup, posture, and swing type. Not only will this lead to you playing your best golf, but it will minimize the effects of any chronic pain or ailments you may have and maximize future injury prevention. Aside from simulator lessons, I also offer playing lessons, short game work, and club fitting assistance. I want my students to be able to reach me 24/7 with any type of follow-up questions and feedback. I'm not a cookie cutter hourly instructor, I take pride in being your golf coach and helping you get the most out of your game!
