I’ve taught thousands of individual and group lessons for players of all levels, from beginners to juniors to club champions. I am ADM & PGA Coach Certified.My love of golf began in high school, where I served as captain of the Bayport-Blue Point Phantoms and was an all-county player. Growing up, I would spend countless hours in my backyard practicing my swing, chipping and putting — figuring out how to take a divot without ripping up my parents’ lawn. I loved the challenge of solving how to slice and curve around a tree. Using Wiffle balls, I would figure out how to mimic a real golf ball and determine how it would react in a real-world scenario— much like a simulator situation,I graduated from The Pennsylvania State University’s Professional Golf Management Program in 1999 and also hold a Master’s in Educational Leadership/Adult and Organizational Learning. That is the basis for my teaching philosophy and the programs I’ve developed throughout the years for my students and fellow PGA colleagues.The Golf Studio is my vision for sharing my love of the game with others. I believe golf promotes mental focus, clarity and persistence — all qualities required to achieve one’s dreams. I teach in Washington, DC & Edgewater, MD.
