With over 30 years of competitive golf experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at every level. I began competing at age 10 and went on to qualify for the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) State Championship in both my junior and senior years. I then played NCAA Division II college golf in the highly competitive Gulf South Conference for the University of West Florida. Throughout my career, I’ve competed in numerous U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur qualifiers, and spent two years as a fully sponsored Callaway Golf professional on the RE/MAX World Long Drive Tour, winning both regional and super regional events with drives of 396 and 406 yards respectively. My teaching specialties include gaining distance and accuracy off the tee, mastering the short game, and building a confident, resilient mental approach to handle the challenges of tournament play or casual weekend rounds. I’ve coached golfers of all ages and skill levels, from aspiring junior athletes to seasoned weekend warriors. I’ve passed the rigorous PGA Playing Ability Test (PAT) at Seminole Legacy Golf Club in Tallahassee, FL as part of the PGA Professional Golf Management (PGM) Program, which evaluates both playing and coaching ability.

"“At 70 years old and stuck with a 25 handicap for what felt like forever, I figured my best golf was behind me. Then I met Justin. After just a few lessons in Fort Walton Beach, he completely transformed my game. I had a nasty slice from a lifetime of swinging inside-out, but Justin simplified everything from my setup, foot alignment, grip, and swing plane. He didn’t overload me with swing thoughts; he gave me real, practical adjustments that worked. After 4–5 short sessions, I broke 80 for the first time in my life. I was so excited I called him on a Saturday just to share the news. I’ve referred all my buddies to him, and I’d do it again without hesitation. He’s the real deal, part coach, part magician!” - Ron R. Fort Walton Beach, FL
