"I hired Alexis of Summer 24 to start my 2 year olds swim lessons. I knew how to swim myself, but didn’t know how to ‘teach’ someone else to swim. The best investment I’ve spent on my baby girl to date. Alexis is so sweet and very timely. Her patience with my toddler was superior. I felt at ease with my daughter being in her care. Very knowledgeable, even gave me ideas on what to practice on with her in between lessons. I saw tremendous growth and not only her ability to swim, but her confidence in the water. Can’t wait for Summer 25 to see what more ways Alexis can help my daughter grow.

My name is David and I have been playing the game of golf for 41 years with 23 of those years as a professional. During those 23 years, I have gained experience throughout the golf industry including playing mini tours and competing in the PGA Tour Q-School.

In conjunction with teaching, I have dedicated many years to learning club fitting and building while working for several major club companies as an on-course demo technician. My background as a top-level golf instructor, includes having had the honor to work with multiple PGA Tour players including US Open Champion and Players Champion Webb Simpson, 4x PGA Tour Winner Russell Henley and 2022 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Cam Young.

That love of learning golf has led me to acquire multiple certifications from golfs biggest names in instruction, including Titleist Performance Institute (Level 1, Golf 2 and Power 2), Aim Point Express Certified, K-Vest Certified, BodiTrak Ground Force Certified and Swing Catalyst Certified.
