With over 10 years of coaching experience, I have taught 3,000+ lessons across the United States, working with golfers of all ages and skill levels. My career has taken me to some of the most prestigious clubs in the country, including Riviera Country Club, Baltimore Country Club, and Ocean Reef Club, where I provided high-level instruction to members and guests. I specialize in personalized coaching, using advanced technology like Trackman and mobile simulators to deliver data-driven, results-oriented lessons. My expertise includes junior golf development, private instruction, tournament preparation, and on-course strategy, ensuring each student gets a well-rounded learning experience. As the owner and operator of Fore Fanatics LLC, I’ve created a mobile golf academy that brings top-tier coaching directly to students’ homes, making learning convenient, effective, and fun. My approach blends structured skill development with an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere, ensuring that both juniors and adults stay motivated and excited to improve. Above all, my coaching philosophy is built on belief, encouragement, and making the game fun, helping every student gain confidence, master their skills, and develop a lifelong love for golf.
he best coach I ever had was Mike Rentzel, one of my baseball coaches growing up. He always believed in me, and that belief pushed me to become my best while truly enjoying the game. His ability to create a fun, encouraging, and motivating environment made me look forward to every practice, and that experience shaped how I approach coaching today.
I’ve adopted those same philosophies in my teaching—helping my students build confidence, enjoy the learning process, and reach their full potential. A great coach doesn’t just teach skills; they inspire a love for the game that lasts a lifetime.
As a coach, my goal is to make learning golf fun, engaging, and rewarding for every student. I bring firsthand experience as a professional golfer, currently competing and making a run for the LIV Golf Tour, which means I know what it takes to develop skills, build confidence, and perform under pressure.
I practice every day to improve my own game and continuously enhance my teaching skills through certifications and continued education. This allows me to provide cutting-edge instruction that blends fundamentals, modern technology, and personalized coaching to help young golfers improve quickly while having a great time.
Whether your child is just starting out or looking to take their game to the next level, I ensure that each lesson is structured, enjoyable, and tailored to their unique learning style. My goal is to inspire a love for the game, just like my best coaches did for me.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
