About the coach

Hello! Welcome to my Skillest coaching page.

I’m new to Skillest, but I’ve spent years coaching in person with over 10,000 hours of experience. My style is direct yet caring, and I value honest communication and genuine connection.

I work with players of all levels and serve as a Lead Coach for the junior academy at Kohr Golf during the summer, and at Ocean Reef Club during the winter.

Many of my students come to me after feeling plateaued or “stuck” in their progress. I love the challenge of helping them shift their paradigm; to see the game, their swing, and even themselves in a new way. Alway finding an innovative ways to break old patterns and spark real improvement. I’m not overly concerned with quirks or unique movements; if something works, I let it be. My focus is on helping you develop a functional, powerful, and repeatable swing with solid kinematics and face control, which is the key to a predictable ball flight.

As a former Division I athlete and a current world top-ranked long driver myself, having started golf at the age of eight; golf is my first language. My background covers all aspects of the game, including performance, fitness, and psychology, which my students often say is reflected in both my coaching and communication style.

I coach players using video, TrackMan and real-world applications. My teaching blends biomechanics, motor learning, and corrective exercise to help golfers move more efficiently, swing faster, and play with freedom. My goal is to help you understand why your swing works the way it does and how to make lasting, confident changes.

🧐 I view every student as a unique individual with their own athletic background and learning style. My role as a coach is to first prioritize what each player “needs”, blending in with what they “want”, then adapt to their learning style make to sure they fully understand the process moving forward. Essentially, I get to solve puzzles every day!

📚 I’m a lifelong learner and completely obsessed with biomechanics. I’m currently back to school for an MS in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology. I’m always studying, experimenting with different methods, testing ideas, and striving to give my players the very best.

📝 My philosophy is based on “teaching myself out of a job.” I want my students to become so knowledgeable, so aware, and so in tune with themselves that they no longer need to rely on me. Of course, I understand the limitations. As a player myself, I know you can’t always see your own swing clearly, which is why having a “third eye” or an outside coach can be incredibly helpful in the process.

But still, my goal is independence. I want you to understand the why and the how behind what you’re doing, so when you hit the course, you’re not just following instructions blindly. You’re playing with insight, ownership, and trust in your own ability to adapt.

‼️Stop following the generic golf tips you see, as u wouldn’t take the same prescription blindly just because of similar symptoms. It’s important that all my students fully understand and grasp the idea of what is being taught. No student shall ever leave a lesson not knowing What, How, and Why to their adjustment.

That is why I will ASK you a lot of questions as I take a student-centered, performance-driven approach tailoring everything to the you.
