Bio: A USGTF certified professional golf instructor with a rich golfing history, I excelled as a scholar golf athlete at Vanguard University and played at Saddleback College and Laguna Beach High School. Throughout my high school years, I achieved an undefeated record, holding the prestigious title of individual CIF medalist. My coaching journey began three years ago, and since then, I've been dedicated to imparting my extensive knowledge and passion for golf. In terms of golf education, I've had the privilege of learning from the best, including PGA tour putting coaches like Ron Stockton and Jason Goldsmith, PGA tour swing coaches such as Adam Porzac and Dana Dalquist, and PGA tour mental coaches like Jon Stabler. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to work with PGA tour winner Mark Hensby, competitive coach of the Asian Tour Won Kim, and past PGA president mentor Paul Levy. My motivation to help others in the realm of golf stems from the belief that the sport is most enjoyable when simplified. Drawing from the invaluable teachings of my mentors, I aim to share game-changing information that simplifies golf for players of all levels, making this beautiful game more enjoyable for everyone. During our lesson, we will have access to state-of-the-art equipment. Such as floor pressure plates, two launch monitors reading out all important factors of impact, a full golf simulator, two high-definition slow-motion cameras, and a full swing analytics computer. This is the stuff the pros use. It shortens the "length of learning" time by providing instant feedback.

Bio: As a former D1 athlete, my passion for golf runs deep. For 10 years, I've refined my coaching approach to help golfers of all levels elevate their game with personalized guidance. I focus on building solid fundamentals while making the journey enjoyable.

Bio: In addition to coaching Pickleball, I am deeply passionate about golf—a game I’ve loved since 2007. Over the years, I’ve not only dedicated myself to improving my own skills but also found joy in sharing the game with others. Each year, I volunteer at the Celebrity Tournament, an experience that keeps me connected to the excitement and community of the sport. One of my most memorable moments was playing in a tournament alongside a professional golfer. That experience shifted my perspective from an amateur’s approach to seeing the game through a pro’s vision—completely transforming how I play and how I teach. My goal is to help others make that same leap in their game, whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills. Golf is more than just a sport—it’s a great way to spend quality time with friends and family, enjoy the outdoors, and stay active. If you’re ready to learn, I’d love to help you take your first swing and discover all the joy golf has to offer.
