There is no feeling that compares with watching a student’s face light up as they realize they’ve mastered a difficult skill.

Being a PGA Instructor is my dream job – it allows me to combine my passion for the game of golf with my enthusiasm for helping other people grow. I enjoy teaching players at all levels of ability, from beginner to professional.

I started playing golf while growing up in Topeka, Kansas and have played for a total of 25 years. I was a member of the Kansas Junior Golf Association for 10 years, and have nine additional years of experience playing as a professional in tournaments. I attended the San Diego Golf Academy where I graduated with a AA degree in Golf Course Management. While attending the golf academy, I found my passion for teaching and playing tournament golf. I am currently a Class A Member of the PGA of America.

I am excited to teach at Camas Meadows. The course and practice facility offer a high-quality golf experience that allow many options when building individual training and development programs.

My teaching philosophy focuses on the fundamentals that are shared by all good players. No band-aids or gimmicks, just timeless fundamentals that build a consistent golf swing. If you would like a more in depth description of how I teach, click on the “Instruction” tab above.

When I’m not at the golf course, I love to spend time with my wife, who is a family physician and a skilled golfer, and my daughter, Ella. Yoga, swimming, running and other sports help keep my mind and body strong.
