My coaching philosophy is simple: mastery matters more than time. I don’t measure improvement by how many hours someone spends practicing, but by how well they understand and can apply what they’ve learned. My goal is to help students master each skill as efficiently as possible. I especially value passion, curiosity, and hard work. My favorite students are the ones who genuinely want to learn, ask questions, and put in the effort to improve. I try to create an extremely focused environment that rewards that mindset and gives students the structure and accountability to make meaningful progress. I’m also the type of coach who can easily lose track of time because I genuinely love helping people improve. I’ll often go over the scheduled time if there’s more I want to teach or a concept I want to make sure a student understands—so if you have somewhere to be, you may have to remind me! Ultimately, I want to develop outstanding, confident players who understand not just what to do, but why they’re doing it. My goal is to give students the skills and understanding to continue improving independently long after the lesson ends.

"Great coach, only have had one lesson so far but I really love how he breaks down the mechanics and makes you take breaks when errors occur. I learned a lot in just this one lesson from wrist control to positioning to tempo. I can’t wait for future lessons!

Hi! I’m a former D1 collegiate golfer at Stanford University. Play to a +5 handicap and have a deep passion for coaching and a strong understanding of technique as well as application to improve. In my playing career, I was a top recruit and won many times as a junior as well as one collegiate win while I played at Stanford. Excited to help you get better!
