In 1983, I became the First Assistant to legendary, award-winning, Southern California PGA Golf Professional, Richard Chavez. Three years later, I was the Head Golf Professional at Twin Lakes Golf Course in Goleta, California.

My love for the game of golf set me on a course of both playing and especially teaching.

I have always enjoyed passing on my expertise through teaching, whether it was Hang Gliding, martial arts, auto mechanics, drums, water skiing, mentoring ice hockey officials, coaching High School golf or being a Certified PGA golf instructor.

Golf has always been my true passion and I know in my heart that sharing my coaching expertise in putting, chipping, full swing, playing strategy and dealing with the voices in our heads, is what I enjoy most and do best.

Engaging our mind in visualization and attention to feedback from our bodies, rather than a long list of things to "do" correctly each time we endeavor to move the ball, is a worthy exercise.
