Teaching Philosophy
I believe golf is not about perfection — it's about progression. My journey through tournament golf, professional caddying at Pebble Beach, and years of instruction has taught me one fundamental truth: every golfer is unique, and no single method works for everyone. I've studied a wide range of swing methodologies and come to the conclusion that there is no 'one method fits all' magic potion. My job is to understand your body type, your natural tendencies, and your goals — and then build a swing and game plan that is authentically yours. I work on fundamentals first and build from there. A proper pivot, solid backswing structure, and staying down through the ball are the cornerstones of a consistent, repeatable swing. Rather than overwhelming you with changes, I identify the root cause of what's holding you back and give you targeted drills and clear visual feedback so you know exactly what to work on. I strive to create a non-intimidating environment where the learning process is not only productive but genuinely enjoyable. As long as you bring curiosity and desire, I can help you improve.
About the coach
I'm a Leadbetter Academy-certified golf instructor based in San Diego with a lifelong passion for understanding the golf swing and helping players of every level reach their potential. My connection to the game started at age five with my first cut-down club and never let go — I went on to captain my high school golf team, earn two individual conference championships, and then earn a full scholarship to play collegiate golf at McCook College in Nebraska.
In my early twenties I headed West and spent time caddying at Pebble Beach Golf Links, one of the most prestigious courses in the world. It was there that I discovered my true calling: studying the dynamics of the swing and helping real golfers pave their own unique path toward improvement. That experience, combined with my background in competitive amateur golf, gives me a well-rounded perspective that benefits every student I work with.
In 2020 I completed my certification through the Leadbetter Academy, and today I offer both in-person lessons at Studio Golf Club in San Diego and online instruction to students everywhere. Whether you're a beginner trying to make sense of the basics or a seasoned player looking to eliminate a stubborn fault, I'll build a personalised plan around your body, your swing, and your goals. My focus is on identifying what's really causing your struggles — and giving you the drills and feedback to fix them for good.
