With a single-digit golf handicap rooted in multi-generational experience and a deep passion for the game, I bring 40 years of golfing expertise, honed from my time as a multi-sport athlete and Captain of a men’s regional golf team. I'm dedicated to helping golfers elevate their game with personalized instruction and a touch of fun, with a special focus on beginners and intermediate players.

I've been playing golf since I was 14, inspired by my great uncle, who was Arnold Palmer’s high school golf coach and remained friends with him throughout their lives. Currently, I hold a 2.4 handicap and was co-captain of the Latrobe, PA high school team. During college, I gave lessons to faculty and friends and participated in various amateur events, even though I didn’t compete for my college team. I love the game and find immense satisfaction in helping others enhance their enjoyment, whether they're just starting out or looking to refine their skills.
