"I'm glad to say my recent lesson with Cecil helped me improve my forehand consistency, especially on those wide balls, even though staying low still feels a bit tricky. Though I feel more confident overall, I think I need to focus on faster recovery after hits. Still, it's encouraging to see progress in court coverage and footwork, so I might try to keep building on these areas. If you're looking to sharpen your baseline game, Cecil's approach might be worth trying.

I picked up tennis as a middle schooler, played as a high schooler and enjoyed it competitively into both college (recreational) and during active duty. I continue to play, learn and tutor my children. I also had the honor of coaching elementary and middle school children as a Senior in high school. My desire to coach is in inspiring the next generation in this wonderful sport.

Additionally, our high school hosted and participated in weekly matches and tournaments during the fall and spring school semesters. On a personal level, I am a Christian, husband, father, and hobbies are numerous because I’m an adventurous guy (tennis, golf, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, mountain and trail hiking, Astronomy).

I can honestly tell you that I never felt I could get to the next level in golf because my swing always fell apart at some point during a round. I was missing something that the better players knew but I had yet to learn. Then I met my mentor AJ Bonar from The Truth about Golf TV fame. I flew out to San Diego to have a private lesson and my golf life changed. It took just five minutes to instantly improve my ball striking, chipping and putting. We played a round the next day and I shot three under par. I became a plus 2 later that year and qualified as an amateur to play in two consecutive Maryland Opens – professional event. My swing held up! So what does this all mean for you? I will teach you the methods and techniques that I learned 22 years after I started to play the game. You are never to old to learn what really works in golf and you are not too young to learn how to use the club properly. I am honored and excited to carry this legacy to the next generation of golfers. Let’s Get Your Game in Gear.
