RYG™ Certified Teaching Professional
RYG™ Certified Fitting Professional
Born and raised in Falmouth, Maine, I quickly realized my passion for golf while growing up on the links with my father’s instruction and play time! While I’ve always loved the game itself, teaching and watching my students grow is my true passion. While attending the SDGA Golf School of Orlando, I earned certifications in Club Repair, Club Building, Tournament Operations, and most importantly - Teaching. The latter became my core area of interest during golf school, and I honed my skills by providing lessons for over 40 hours per week.
My teaching philosophy is centered around three core, consistent areas of focus: grip, alignment, and set-up. These simple yet effective fundamentals enable golfers of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds create consistent, repeatable swings. I pride myself on my patience, good-hearted sense of humor, and dedication to ensuring that my students achieve their goals.
I have been an RYG Certified Teaching and Fitting Professional at RedTail since the grand opening in 2003. I have also spent time at many different golf facilities across the country and none of them even begin to compare to the resources, technology, professionalism and knowledge that exist at RedTail Golf Center. Don't just take me at my word, however, allow me or any one of our Certified Professionals the opportunity to show you our instructional and club fitting amenities here at RedTail Golf Center, and I guarantee you will be amazed at what we can do to improve your swing and enhance your enjoyment of the game. I look forward to seeing you, and remember this is a recreational sport. Hit'em straight and long, but more importantly have fun doing it!
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy playing basketball, bowling, and competitive rounds of golf. I’m an avid sports fan who values investing quality time with friends and family…ideally enjoying sports!
