As a former captain of the college golf team at Princeton University, my passion for the sport has taken me on a remarkable journey. I've competed on mini-tour circuits across Florida and various parts of the country, honing my skills and gaining invaluable experience. Along the way, I've achieved notable victories, including winning the Delaware State Amateur and Open championships. In the 1990s, I taught inner-city youth golf through an LPGA program, fostering a love for the game in a new generation of players.

I am a very patient coach and I always keep it simple for my students. I try to give you the least amount of information and thoughts as possible, but the information I give you will make the biggest difference in improving your game. Too many thoughts about a motion will interfere with the effectiveness of your swing. I also incorporate the latest coaching techniques in golf, technology including aboutGolf's premium golf simulator launch monitor technology or TrackMan/Full Swing golf simulator launch monitor technology, and other training aids when appropriate. I really enjoy working with students who love the game as much as I do and seeing the improvement in my students. When someone shoots their best round ever or just has a breakthrough moment during a lesson it is so rewarding! Let me share my passion with you and help you to enjoy this great game even more!
