In the UK, he coached in Cambridge, London, Essex, and Wiltshire, while his US coaching journey spans New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

"Tj's lesson focused on practicing forehand and backhand, which I appreciated since it helped reinforce my basics. Still, I think doing more of the same could be beneficial, maybe mixing in some variety later. But overall, it was quite helpful, and I’d suggest giving Tj a try if you're looking to refine fundamentals.

Golf has been a lifelong pursuit of mine, beginning in a country club environment where I started playing as soon as I could walk. I received structured professional instruction from ages 3–18 and competed extensively in junior tournament golf, including AGJA events and high-level regional competition. I was the #1 player in my high school and was on track to compete at the collegiate level before health-related circumstances shifted my path. That experience deepened my understanding of both the physical and mental demands of competitive golf. My background is rooted heavily in tournament preparation—learning how to structure practice, manage scoring expectations, and perform under pressure. After college, I transitioned into coaching and have spent years giving lessons to players of all levels, with a focus on simplifying mechanics, improving consistency, and building repeatable scoring systems. Whether you’re just starting, preparing for competition or just trying to lower your handicap, I specialize in turning technical work into on-course performance.
