About Me:
I have played the game for well over 50 years and have worked in the business for 30 plus of those years as well. I am a PGA professional and currently a Callaway Staffer meaning I play Callaway equipment as well as doing fitting days at facilities for Callaway as well. My biggest accomplishment in my golf career was obtaining my PGA membership. I have played professionally within the PGA events, not the PGA Tour. A PGA professional is prepared to be able to coach and improve the skills of players of any level.
How I can help you improve your game:
I will improve you game when we work together, and you do the work required to make the changes or skills stick.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We will meet at a place where we can work together. We will discuss expectations you have for your game and how we will get there together. We will then warm up and begin. Depends on where the student is in their journey as to where we start.
Career summary and accomplishments:
30 plus years working and teaching students of all levels
Best coach I ever had:
I am by far mostly self-taught. I have had a few lessons over the years, but I did work with another PGA professional a few years back (We went to Jr. high together). He by far helped me during that period I was struggling with my game a bit because we had played hundreds of rounds together and he knew me better than anyone. Sometimes it takes another set of eyes to see what you can't.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
What you get with me is what you see. There are no judgements and only positives when we work together to improve your game. I will save this here and now. I am always happy to help as well as be there after hours for questions or insights but if you commit to coaching you need to do the work or you will not be successful.

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!
