Teaching Philosophy

My mission has always been simple: to improve the experience of golf for players of every level. I believe the game should be accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding — and that starts with instruction rooted in fundamentals and tailored to each individual student. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're a beginner picking up a club for the first time or a seasoned player looking to sharpen a specific part of your game, I work with you to identify what will make the biggest difference in your performance and your enjoyment on the course. My passion for club fitting and equipment runs alongside my teaching — I firmly believe that playing with properly fitted clubs amplifies everything we work on in a lesson. I combine hands-on instruction with video analysis to give students clear, actionable feedback they can take straight to the range and the course. Golf changed my life, and I want to share that experience with everyone I coach.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Class A Professional with over 15 years of experience across instruction, club fitting, and golf operations at some of Michigan's finest private clubs. My journey in golf began as a caddie at Great Oaks Country Club in Rochester, Michigan — and from that first step on the bag, I was hooked. I went on to work at the Toski Golf Academy, where my passion for teaching and club building truly took shape, before earning my PGA membership through Coastal Carolina University's prestigious PGM program.

Over the course of my career, I've held positions as Assistant Golf Professional, Head Golf Professional, and General Manager — including roles at Gull Lake Country Club, Stonycroft Hills Club, Pine Lake Country Club, The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, and most recently at Indianwood Golf & Country Club in Oxford, Michigan. This breadth of experience gives me a deep understanding of the game from every angle — not just instruction, but the culture, the equipment, and the lifestyle that makes golf so special.

I'm also a proud alumnus of the PGA of America LEADS Program and a former volunteer instructor with The First Tee, where I helped introduce young people to the values of the game. Whether you're looking to break 90 for the first time, fine-tune your ball-striking, or get into a set of properly fitted clubs, I'm here to help you get there — one lesson at a time.

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.
