Teaching Philosophy
Golf has actually been getting more confusing with all the access to information we have today. I see so many students come to me with overcomplicated ideas about their swing — layered with tips and theories that contradict each other and leave them more lost than when they started. My job is to cut through the noise. I believe great coaching starts with the individual. Every golfer has a unique set of skills, movement patterns, and learning styles, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't work at any level — whether you're a PGA Tour veteran or someone who just picked up a club for the first time. I use a blend of technical understanding and feel-based coaching, because you need both: the physics and biomechanics of a sound swing, and the ability to actually play with freedom and confidence on the course. I was shaped early in my coaching career by spending time at tournament sites alongside my players — not just on the lesson tee. That experience taught me that real improvement happens when coaching meets competition. You have to be able to take what you work on in practice and trust it when it counts. That's what I help every student build: a clear blueprint, a process, and the confidence to execute. Whether I'm working with a tour pro looking for an edge or a passionate beginner finding their feet, I bring the same commitment: straightforward, understandable guidance on both the physical and mental sides of the game. No overcomplicated models. Just clarity, process, and growth.
About the coach
I'm a professional golf coach based at Southern Highlands Golf Club in Las Vegas, recognized by GOLF Magazine as a Top 100 Teacher in America and by Golf Digest as the #1 Instructor in Nevada and one of the Best Young Teachers in America. I've spent my career coaching at the highest levels of the game — working with players on the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, LIV Golf, and Korn Ferry Tour — and I bring that same elite perspective to every golfer I work with, regardless of level.
My tour students have included Kevin Na, Pat Perez, Jason Kokrak, Chesson Hadley, Anna Norquist, and many others, combining for five PGA Tour victories and countless top-10 finishes. I started my coaching journey in 2011, traveling to tournament sites and working alongside my players in competitive environments — a philosophy that still defines how I approach instruction today. My own game was shaped by studying under world-class instructors including Mac O'Grady and Mike Bender, and those influences gave me a deep, versatile understanding of the golf swing.
What sets me apart is simplicity. I'm known for making the complicated feel straightforward — breaking down the physical and mental aspects of golf in a way that actually sticks. I don't teach with rigid rules or hard models. Every student gets a personalised blueprint: a clear starting point, a structured process, and a path to real, lasting improvement.
Whether you're a competitive professional or an enthusiastic beginner, I have the tools, the experience, and the passion to help you find your blueprint and grow.
