Teaching Philosophy
My coaching philosophy starts with one simple idea: before I change your golf swing, I need to understand how your body moves. Every golfer is built differently. Your flexibility, mobility, strength, and coordination all influence how you naturally move the club. Instead of forcing every golfer into the same swing model, I focus on building a swing that works with your body, allowing you to make changes that are realistic, repeatable, and built to last. That’s why I offer TPI movement assessments as an optional add-on for my online students. By identifying physical limitations that may be influencing your swing, we can make smarter coaching decisions from the start. Following the assessment, you’ll receive a personalized plan with stretches and exercises designed to improve those limitations over time. The goal isn’t simply to work around physical restrictions forever. It’s to help your body move better so you can continue building a more efficient golf swing. I also believe great coaching isn’t about making things more complicated. It’s about making them simpler. One of my greatest strengths is taking complex swing mechanics and explaining them in a way that golfers of any skill level can quickly understand and apply. My goal is for every student to understand not only what to change, but why they’re making that change. When you understand your swing, you become more confident, more independent, and better equipped to continue improving long after the lesson is over. Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or preparing for tournament golf, my objective is always the same: help you build a swing that fits your body, improve the way your body moves, and give you the knowledge and confidence to keep getting better.
About the coach
I’m the Owner and Head Coach at Tour Development Academy in Richmond, British Columbia, one of Canada’s leading golf coaching facilities. I was honoured to be named PGA of BC Teacher of the Year, became a Canadian Teacher of the Year finalist, and currently serve as the Golf Consultant for Apple TV+’s STICK, helping ensure the golf portrayed in the series is authentic.
Before coaching full-time, I competed professionally, winning more than 10 professional tournaments while playing on tours throughout North America and Asia. More recently, I won the 2025 PGA of BC Head Professional Championship and have set three course records, including a 12-under 61. My competitive background gives me firsthand experience with what it takes to build a golf swing that performs under pressure.
Today, my passion is helping golfers of all skill levels reach their potential. I combine a deep understanding of golf swing mechanics with a body-first coaching philosophy, helping students build swings that suit how they move rather than forcing everyone into the same model. My goal is to simplify the golf swing, making complex concepts easy to understand so every student leaves with greater confidence and a clear plan for improvement.
I became one of Skillest’s top 5 coaches before shifting my focus to opening and building Tour Development Academy into one of Canada’s top golf academies. Having delivered more than 2,200 online lessons and earned a 4.99-star rating from over 700 reviews, I’m now expanding my online coaching to help more golfers around the world.
Whether you’re looking to break 100, compete at a higher level or strike the ball more consistently, we’ll work together on a clear, personalized plan that fits your swing, your goals and the time you have to practise.
I look forward to helping you play your best golf.
