I grew up playing ice hockey on Long Island until about the age of 16. I started playing golf then, and went on to finish high school at the International Junior Golf Academy in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. From there, I graduated from the Professional Golf Management Program at Coastal Carolina University in 2011, receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and my Class A PGA Membership.

After college, I stayed in Myrtle Beach to pursue coaching and playing the Hooters Pro Golf Tour. From there, I moved back to New York in 2015 to pursue coaching full time, teaching at two local driving ranges and became an Assistant Golf Professional at Hempstead Golf & Country Club. I qualified for 3 National Assistants' Championships and 1 National Club Pro Championship during my time there, and became certified in Teaching & Coaching in 2017. I am now the Head Golf Professional at Delaire Country Club.

Competing and Instruction are two of the most rewarding aspects of the game to me. I am confident in my knowledge of the swing, and my ability to play the game, which I use in my lessons to help my students obtain a better swing and improve their ability to score.
