I help beginners and improving golfers build confidence, learn golf fundamentals, and make focused progress from the first lesson onward. Whether you are new to the game or working toward lower scores, I can tailor our time to your goals, including driving, irons, wedges, course management, and on-course decision-making. I am a single-digit handicap golfer with 12 years of playing experience, and I compete as part of my high school team. I have been trained by PGA Championship winners and multiple Division I coaches. Using advanced data metrics from my FlightScope launch monitor, I help connect your swing, ball flight, and measurable results so we can identify clear areas to work on.

Currently, I'm homeschooling my 8-year-old daughter, embracing the opportunity to instill a love for learning and adventure.
