Born and raised in Southern California, I was introduced to golf at a very young age by my grandfather. I was taught by PGA Professionals for most of my childhood and into high school. I earned a PGM degree from The Professional Golfers' Career College and went to work as an assistant professional. I started teaching golf in the early 2000s. I have been a Head Golf Professional at several facilities. Teaching became my passion over the last 17 years. Much of my teaching philosophy has been influenced by my experience working with many golfers and by what I learned from the great coaches at GolfTEC. My focus as a golf coach is for my students to form goals, create a plan to reach those goals, understand the importance of the fundamentals, and to remember that this is a game and to have fun!
