I have been playing golf for 20 years and have been teaching for 5 years. I Enjoy getting people to learn new skills, especially if it is a skill they are struggling with. My proudest golf achievement has been shooting a 71 at Poppy Hills. My favorite golf course is Torrey Pines. When I am not teaching or playing golf, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and playing the drums.

"Kamal's lesson really helped me understand some key techniques, especially focusing on proper ball control. It’s pretty clear he knows his stuff and puts effort into making sure each player gets useful feedback, though I’d say I still need more practice on consistency. Still, I feel like I made decent progress and I’d be curious to see how my skills develop after another lesson. If you’re into improving your soccer skills, trying Kamal’s lesson could be worthwhile.

Embarking on a journey into the realm of dance five years ago, I am fortunate to be experienced in many kinds of dance including ballroom, salsa, and Afro-Cuban dance.

My mission is to impart the fundamental body movements inspired by African and Latin dancing, empowering individuals to embrace their bodies and find comfort in movement. In my eyes, body movement is a universal healer, and I'm dedicated to guiding and opening up hearts and bodies through the joy of dance.
