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.

"“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
