About Me:
Competed in junior golf from the age of six years old. I won my first competitive tournament when I was 12. I have over 43 years of playing experience and bring current and old technology to my lessons to enhance the learning process.
How I can help you improve your game:
Improving someone’s golf game involves assessing their current skills, setting clear goals, and focusing on fundamentals like grip, alignment, and swing mechanics. Technology such as swing analysis and launch monitors can provide valuable feedback, while purposeful practice and on-course learning enhance consistency and decision-making. Mental coaching, including pre-shot routines and stress management, complements physical improvements like strength and flexibility training. Tracking progress and providing encouragement ensures steady growth and motivation, helping players achieve their full potential.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical golf lesson begins with a warm-up and discussion of the student’s goals, followed by an assessment of their swing, stance, and ball flight. The instructor provides focused instruction on key areas for improvement, using drills, demonstrations, and training aids. Students practice these techniques with real-time feedback to reinforce proper mechanics. The lesson concludes with a recap of key takeaways and personalized drills or exercises for continued improvement between sessions. Each lesson is tailored to the student’s skill level and designed to maximize progress.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With a strong foundation in athletics and over 43 years of playing experience, I have dedicated my career to coaching and mentoring athletes at various levels. My expertise spans teaching golf fundamentals, refining advanced skills, and preparing players for competitive success. Alongside my golf coaching, I’ve applied lessons from my diverse sports background—football, baseball, basketball, and wrestling—to develop comprehensive coaching strategies emphasizing discipline, growth, and achieving personal bests. I aim to inspire athletes to unlock their potential on and off the field.
Best coach I ever had:
My father was the best coach I ever had because he instilled in me the discipline of consistent practice, the unwavering dedication to succeed, and the resilience that hard work demands. These values are essential not only for success in sports but also for achieving one’s goals in life.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Growing up, I was immersed in various sports that shaped my competitive spirit and athletic skills. My journey began with youth golf, where I developed a passion for the game that has lasted a lifetime. Alongside golf, I competed in football, baseball, basketball, and wrestling, each contributing to my physical and mental development. These experiences taught me discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, ultimately laying the foundation for my dedication to sports and coaching.

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!
