Teaching Philosophy
My approach to coaching is rooted in education — I want you to not only improve, but to understand exactly why you're making each change. When you understand the cause and effect of your swing tendencies, you're not just fixing a problem for today; you're building the knowledge to keep improving long after our lesson is over. In every session, I break down specific swing flaws in a clear, easy-to-understand way so you always have a concrete picture of the path forward. I don't believe in forcing the same swing on every player. We all come in different shapes and sizes, with different athletic backgrounds and physical capabilities — my orthopedic and sports medicine background gives me a real advantage in understanding how the body moves and what's realistic for each individual. My mentors have trained players across every major tour in the world, and that depth of knowledge informs everything I teach. In addition to potential swing changes I enjoy teaching different skill building methods that can help you build club face awareness and improve contact by training with various drills, this can help you improve without needing a "perfect" swing. Whether you're a beginner or a competitive player, my goal is to build a swing and the necessary skill that genuinely works for you.
About the coach
📱 Turnaround Time: 2-4 days
Golf has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I began playing competitively at a young age, reached a scratch handicap by 14, and was part of a high school state championship team that set the Virginia state scoring record. I ultimately chose to forgo college golf to focus on my education at Old Dominion University and later became a physician assistant specializing in sports medicine and orthopedics, developing a strong understanding of human movement and how the body influences performance.
During COVID-19, as the medical field temporarily slowed down (for my field at least), I began diving deeper into golf instruction and swing mechanics. What started as an interest quickly became a passion. Since then, I’ve completed numerous coaching and swing-mechanics courses and trained under Tour-level coaches who have worked with major champions and players across the world’s professional tours. I continue to learn from and work with those coaches today.
I’ve now given more than 6,500 in-person and online lessons and have been featured on Golf Channel clinics and GolfPass Daily Tips. I continue to play myself outside of coaching, currently playing to a +4 handicap. My goal is simple: make golf easier to understand and give every player a clear, practical path to improvement.
