"I have had the privilege of working with thousands of students, beginner through professional golfers. As a Teaching Professional for over 37+ years, I value the opportunity to have a student take time off from their busy schedule to be with me to learn this great game. I hope to accompany and challenge you to achieve your own personal goals at your own pace."

"As a teenager, my golf goal was to learn or develop a skill everyday. I knew if I became proficient at many skills, I would be a very good player. That same philosophy I share with my students and friends, learning one skill at a time."

"I enjoy sharing skills with new golfers, along with coaching top players to winning tournaments. Both are a thrill."

"I have learned information from hands down the most intelligent instructors teaching this game. Come on out and let me help you!"
