Teaching Philosophy

My philosophy starts with the individual — not just the swing. Every student who works with me gets a coaching experience grounded in sport psychology, kinesiology, and motor learning. I completed my master's degree in pedagogy specifically to understand how people learn and change, and that academic foundation shapes everything I do on the lesson tee. I believe lasting improvement comes from understanding the 'why' behind every adjustment, not just copying a position or a feel. Whether you're a junior working toward a college scholarship, a competitive amateur chasing a club title, or a tour professional refining an edge, my process is the same: a full evaluation of your swing mechanics, movement patterns, and goals — followed by a personalized plan built around your game and your life. I'm equally at home with in-person coaching using tour-level technology and remote coaching through detailed video analysis and personalized drill videos, because great instruction shouldn't be limited by geography. At every level, my job is to give you a clear blueprint, keep you accountable, and help you become the best version of yourself as a golfer.

About the coach

I'm a PGA Master Professional and GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher based at The Golf Learning Center at The Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Originally from England, I've called the United States home since 1989, and my journey in golf has been driven by an equal passion for playing and learning. I competed collegiately at the University of Virginia, then returned to earn a Master's degree in Pedagogy — with graduate studies in sport psychology, kinesiology, and motor learning — that became the academic backbone of my coaching philosophy.

Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working with golfers at every level: from beginners and competitive juniors to collegiate standouts and players on the PGA TOUR, LPGA Tour, PGA Champions Tour, and Korn Ferry Tour. More than 100 of the junior golfers I've coached have gone on to play collegiate golf, with multiple earning All-America honors and rankings inside the WAGR Top 100. I'm also the co-founder of GOLFPREP, an elite junior training academy designed to bridge the gap between junior and college golf.

As Director of Instruction at The Sea Pines Resort, I lead a comprehensive instructional program equipped with tour-level technology and assessment tools. My thought leadership has been published in GOLF Magazine, Golf Digest, and Golf Illustrated, and I've made guest appearances on Golf Channel. Whether you're working with me in person on Hilton Head or remotely through video analysis and customized drill plans, my commitment is the same: a personalized blueprint that produces real, lasting results.
