Teaching Philosophy

Better golf starts with understanding the golfer—not forcing every player into the same swing. My coaching philosophy is built around discovering why you’re here, identifying the patterns shaping your game and creating a clear, personalized path toward the player you want to become. I want you to understand your game—not just follow instructions. Together, we’ll identify what will make the biggest difference, whether that involves swing mechanics, physical capabilities, performance habits, course management or confidence. Good coaching requires ongoing communication. Your feedback on what you’re feeling, what’s working and what isn’t helps us adjust along the way. My goal is to help you build confidence, develop the tools to play better golf and enjoy the process.

About the coach

I love coaching golf. Finding solutions, solving problems and helping golfers understand their game is what keeps me excited about coaching every day.

I’m a PGA of Canada Class A Professional and Academy Manager at Predator Ridge Resort in Vernon, BC. Before becoming a full-time coach, I played varsity golf for the UBC Thunderbirds and spent six years competing professionally on the Canadian, Symetra and Australian tours, including a professional win in Australia in 2018.

I transitioned into full-time coaching in 2017 and have since been recognized as the 2025 PGA of BC Jack Westover Coach of the Year and 2023 PGA of BC Alvie Thompson Teacher of the Year.

I work with everyone from competitive juniors, collegiate players and developing professionals to recreational golfers who simply want to play better and enjoy the game more.

I’m TPI Level 2 certified in Golf, Junior, Power and Fitness, allowing me to consider how your body moves alongside your swing mechanics. I’m also a Callaway Golf ambassador and continue to develop my coaching through mentorship with PGA Tour coach Shauheen Nakhjavani.

My approach is simple: understand your patterns, identify what matters most, and build a clear plan to help you improve.

If you’re ready to understand your game better and play better golf, let’s get to work!
