Bio: I grew up playing golf in Phoenix, AZ and went on to play Division I golf at the University of Wyoming, where I accomplished my goal of winning a collegiate tournament. My favorite part of golf has always been understanding how people get better—from the mechanics of the golf swing, practice methodologies, and the psychology behind the way we think and therefore swing. Since graduating, I’ve dedicated my career to coaching players of all ages with the mission of helping them unlock their potential in golf. I’ve run an elite junior academy at Bear Creek Golf Club in California under the guidance of top-ranked coaches Chris Walkey and Tony Greco, as well as physical therapist Dr. Mike Kay, and later became a key part of Perfect Circle Golf under the mentorship of Blake Isakson. I am also TPI Golf and Fitness Certified, providing me with a deeper understanding of how the body moves and organizes itself. My teaching philosophy is centered on educating and empowering students with a deep understanding of the fundamentals—grip, setup, balance, impact, and finishing position—and how critical and often overlooked they are. These essential pieces have downstream effects on every part of the golf swing. While at the University of Wyoming, I earned an engineering degree, which allows me to understand the biomechanics of the golf swing and body. While I respect the principles defined in The Golfing Machine, I believe we must always start by ensuring the fundamentals are understood, proper, and matched up to your body. I believe improvement only happens when players not only know what to practice, but also how to practice effectively. That’s why I provide drills, games, and feedback tools designed to give you clear markers for whether you’re accomplishing what you want during your training sessions. This way, you can build confidence and learn to coach yourself during your own practice time. I equip my students with a plan that can be accomplished from the comfort of home or outside, making improvement easier and more accessible. I believe that playing the golf of your dreams—or having the swing of your dreams—is equal parts mental and physical. Drawing from the principles of Karl Morris’ MindCaddie and the Vision 54 framework, I integrate mental performance training into my coaching so students learn not only to swing better but also to think, focus, and react better on and off the course. Success in golf comes from aligning your technical skills, your body’s capabilities, and your mental approach—while always keeping enjoyment at the center of the journey. Whether you’re a beginner, a competitive junior, or an adult player looking to lower your scores, my goal is to provide world-class instruction tailored to your goals. Above all, I bring energy, passion, and clarity to every lesson. My mission is to create an elite yet enjoyable learning environment where every student can reach their potential, play their best golf, and truly enjoy the game.
