I began my golfing journey in the UK, where the courses present a unique challenge. The key there is to master controlling the flight of the ball, a skill I honed early in my career. My prowess in the short game is something I'm particularly proud of; my pitching and chipping skills are exceptional. Over the years, I've had the privilege of playing alongside numerous professionals, gaining invaluable insights and experience. I'm known for my patience and keen eye for spotting issues in a golfer's technique. I'm always ready to offer advice, as I quickly identify and help address the problems golfers face.

"Helped my correct my slice on my irons.

I’ve spent over twenty years studying and teaching the true mechanics behind a powerful golf swing. My coaching goes far beyond “copy this angle” or “hold the club like that.” I help golfers understand where power comes from, how speed is created, how rhythm is controlled, and how to remain mentally steady under pressure. My approach blends psychology, physiology, and physical mechanics with the principles of Taichi and meditation. This fusion helps players move with clarity, relax unnecessary tension, and generate natural, efficient power. My writing on this philosophy has also been featured in Golf Digest. Every golfer is built differently—different height, body shape, flexibility, rotation speed—so every swing I teach is uniquely tailored. I focus on giving players the tools to self-adjust and self-improve, instead of relying on rigid, mechanical “positions” that only work when perfectly copied. If you want to truly understand your swing—not just imitate one—I can help you rebuild your game from the inside out. (I also hold certifications with US Kids Golf and the Positive Coaching Alliance.)
