EJ is a Co-Owner of Axis Golf Academy, located in Houston, Texas. He and his partners started Axis Golf Academy in 2016 and since then their Academy is known for developing Junior Golfers. Over the past 10 years the academy has sent over 76 Junior Golfers to play collegiate golf on a scholarship. To mention a few schools that the academy has sent students to are the following, 🎓Yale, Texas, Rice, Texas A&M, UNC, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, LSU, NAVY, TCU and more. Through his coaching connections with the college coaches, he enjoys helping kids achieve their dreams of play college golf. 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓

His coaching style is based on development, working from the fundamentals into more complex movement patterns. With his TPI background he takes an anatomical approach when he looks into the golf swing. If the body is incapable of moving in a particular way, we need to find out the main cause of the issue and work on that as opposed to making the swing look a certain way. Functionality trumps the way the golf swing looks more or less an idea of how it should work. Find the proper anatomical movements and the swing should work with ease.

EJ played collegiately at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., and was working toward his dream of playing professionally before putting his game on pause to serve as a translator for eight-time PGA Tour winner K.J. Choi. The experience of traveling on the PGA Tour gave him a unique perspective into the daily life of a tour player, as well as giving him access to the best players and coaches in the world. This experience sparked an interest toward teaching the game instead of playing professionally.

Some of the coaches that have had a great influence on EJ include Phil Ritson, Steve Bann, Michael Breed, Butch Harmon and Kevin Kirk. EJ has certifications in teaching, biomechanics, various golf technology tools and club fitting.
