EXPERIENCE:
A Teaching Professional since 2005. I have worked at the Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort since 2001. Before turning professional in 2005, I played at College of the Desert on the golf team that won a Team State Championship in 2004. I have been teaching golf schools, private lessons, junior golf, and group clinics ever since. I have honed in my teaching skills from some of the biggest names in the golf instruction industry and continue to accumulate more skills throughout the years. Teaching golfers with different skill levels provides a fun mixture of lessons out on the lesson tee each day. I also compete in many SCPGA and Desert Chapter Golf Tournaments, winning several events over the years.
PHILOSOPHY:
Each golfer has different issues, I address each student’s needs and what the student wants to improve on. I do my best to make sure each student has a foundation of proper setup and mechanics for each shot in the game.
PERSONAL INTERESTS:
Outside of golf, I have a wonderful family: Katie (wife), Gavin (son), and Gracie (daughter). Additionally, I like NASCAR and collect different species of palm trees.
