After growing up on James Island as a member of the James Island High School golf team, I went on to play at Spartanburg Methodist before transferring and graduating from Charleston Southern University. Now a PGA Class A Professional with experience working with individuals and groups of all ages and skill levels, I bring my experience of playing on the collegiate level to help my students improve their abilities. Enhancing your skills in all aspects of golf — from the swing to management of the golf course — is very important to me. In my opinion, with good techniques, excellent practice routines, and course management knowledge, anyone can prepare themselves to excel on any golf course.
My opinion is that golf is best learned on the golf course under real situations and pressure. These situations help me tailor my teaching to each individual to achieve each students desired results. I strive to coach each student in how to practice, thus recreating these pressure situations and becoming independent of myself so that they can take ownership of their results while we both hold ourselves accountable. This is not the normal "fix my swing" mentality. You will get a coach that puts their full effort into getting you the results you desire.
I have been fortunate enough to receive the honor of being selected a US KIDS TOP 50 Instructor in 2020 and 2021 then selected as a US KIDS TOP 50 MASTER INSTRUCTOR in 2022.
