Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is simple: it's all about YOU. Every golfer is different, and I believe the most lasting improvement comes when a student truly understands their own swing — not just what to fix, but why and how to fix it themselves. I focus on building self-awareness and the ability to self-correct, because that's what separates golfers who improve for a season from those who improve for life. The club face and path are controlled by the hands and arms, supported by the rest of the body — once you understand that relationship, the game becomes a lot clearer. Whether we're working on your full swing, dialing in your short game, or rebuilding your putting stroke from the ground up, I'll give you customized video feedback, clear demonstrations, and specific drills so you actually know what to practice and why. I've been fortunate to learn from PGA Hall of Famer Bob Toski and six of the world's Top 50 instructors, and I bring that depth of knowledge into every lesson — delivered with the patience and clarity of an educator. Whether you're picking up a club for the first time or grinding toward a competitive handicap, I'm here to build a game that holds up when it matters most.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Associate, former collegiate golfer, and dedicated golf coach based out of StoneWater Golf Club in Highland Heights, Ohio. My journey in golf began at Keiser University, where I competed on the golf team while earning a degree in Golf Management and a Bachelor's degree in Education — a combination that shapes everything about how I teach. I had the rare privilege of being mentored by PGA Hall of Famer Bob Toski, and I've had the opportunity to shadow and learn from six of the world's Top 50 golf instructors. That foundation gives me a deep, multi-faceted understanding of the golf swing and what it truly takes to help golfers improve. At StoneWater's Linksman Golf Academy, I serve as the club's Putting Specialist and short-game coach, with a particular passion for youth player development. I've helped hundreds of golfers — from complete beginners to competitive juniors and adults — build real confidence and shoot lower scores. My lessons go beyond swing tips: I deliver personalized video analysis, custom drills, and clear, actionable feedback designed to make changes that actually stick on the course. I'm also certified in David Orr's Flatstick methodology, Impact Zone principles, and Mizuno club fitting, so I can address every element of your game and equipment. Whether you're looking for in-person sessions in West Palm Beach or Ohio, or prefer the flexibility of online coaching with video analysis, I'm committed to meeting you where you are and getting you where you want to be.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.
