About your golf coach

I have been a PGA Professional since 1993 and have dedicated over 25 years to teaching in the Sacramento and Auburn areas. A proud graduate of San Jose State University, I bring a wealth of playing experience to my instruction, including being a 6-time NCPGA Player of the Year and competing in prestigious events such as the 1996 US Open, three PGA Championships, and the victorious 2000 PGA Cup Team in Wales, where I represented the United States. Throughout my career, I have shared my Basic and Balance approach to golf with thousands of students, including juniors who have gone on to earn college scholarships. My teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of playing the game and achieving consistency on the course. Students learn not only the fundamentals of the golf swing but also how to apply them effectively for lower scores. I tailor my instruction to each individual’s capabilities, helping them improve while gaining a deeper understanding of their unique swing.
