Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
Kim Shin Young who gave me lessons in Seoul, South Korea was my best golf coach. Also an aspiring golf professional at the time I was getting lessons from him, he taught me that being a better person will always mean more than how good a golfer you are. Skill without character is a waste.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
I aspired to be a tour professional since I was of the age of 10. Although I am no longer in pursuit of my childhood dream, the journey told me so much about what it takes and how good you need to be. You may not necessarily want to be a tour professional. Maybe your goal is to play D1. Maybe its to be a scratch golfer. I can get you there.

How can you help someone improve their game?
There's a fine line between being told what to do and understanding why you're doing what you're doing. I'm going to help you identify the flaws in your game that are inhibiting you and help you understand the proper way of fixing it. My goal is to make you understand your swing and game to the point where you no longer need lessons from me.
What does a typical training session look like?
Whether you're looking to work on your swing, putting, or anything in between, I will take the first 10 mins getting to know and diagnose you. Once we've identified an area of improvement, I will help guide you towards understanding the proper tips and methods to improve. 45 mins will be devoted to feel work, drills, and general practice. The last 5 mins will be used to recap everything we went over and making sure none of it was lost. I will probably have you write this down in your phone during this time.
