Learn to Love the Game, Just As I Do!
I have been playing competitive golf for the last 11 years including 2 years on a professional mini tour in Florida. Due to some injury, my family and I have relocated to Mass but the love and desire to be around the game of golf remains! I have 2 kids 9/7 years old who both play tournament/competitive golf. Golf is more than a hobby for me, it's my true passion. Look forward to working with you very soon!!

About Me:
I had the privilege of earning scholarships to play both college basketball and football. After experiencing injuries, I found a new passion and competitive outlet in golf. This led me to participate in numerous amateur events nationwide and compete on professional mini tours in Florida. Recently, my wife, our two children, and I relocated back to Massachusetts, where we continue to embrace our love for the game of golf.
How I can help you improve your game:
I'm a firm believe in learning the basics of set up, grip, aim and posture. From there, we'll start to explore how to hit shots based on the fundamentals. This is when golf becomes very fun! There is no right and / or wrong way to play the game. But a few fundamentals will be the basis of every good players game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typical session includes learning the 3 functions of the golf swing. Set up, back swing and through swing. The game is very easy when we break it down, it's just a process of knowing the functions, and setting yourself up for success.
Career summary and accomplishments:
As mentioned I have 2 kids that play golf as well. I've coached many sports over the years- basketball, baseball, soccer and golf. Golf is my true passion these days and continue to train and learn about my own swing and habits.
Best coach I ever had:
I believe that coaching extends beyond athletic performance; it encompasses personal development and character building. This philosophy mirrors that of esteemed coaches like John Wooden, who emphasized qualities such as integrity, teamwork, and personal growth in his "Pyramid of Success."
By prioritizing the holistic development of individuals, we not only foster better athletes but also nurture well-rounded people who can enjoy and excel in the game for many years.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My coaching philosophy, which emphasizes personal development alongside athletic skill, aligns with the principles of Sports-Based Youth Development (SBYD). SBYD programs focus on using sports as a vehicle to foster positive youth development by prioritizing physical and psychological safety, supportive relationships, and opportunities for personal growth.
Additionally, organizations like the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) advocate for creating positive youth sports environments by training coaches to focus on character development and life skills, ensuring that athletes grow both on and off the field.
By integrating these approaches into coaching, I try to enhance our athletes' performance but also contribute to their overall development as individuals, preparing them for various life challenges beyond sports.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
