Beginner Golf
Build a strong foundation with grip, setup, posture, alignment, and confident ball striking.
Personalized golf instruction focused on solid contact, predictable ball flight, and confidence that carries onto the course.
Whether you're brand new to golf or looking to lower your scores, we'll identify the biggest opportunity for improvement and build a practical plan.
Build a strong foundation with grip, setup, posture, alignment, and confident ball striking.
Improve clubface control, swing path, contact, and the ability to predict where the ball will go.
Sharpen chipping, pitching, putting, and course-management skills that translate to better rounds.
I'm a PGA Professional at Meadow Springs Country Club in the Tri-Cities, Washington. My goal is to make golf instruction understandable, encouraging, and effective for every student.
After serving in the United States Air Force, I pursued a career in golf. Since turning professional in 2014, I've continued developing my teaching through coaching, competition, and working with players of all ages and abilities.
In 2026, I competed in the PGA Professional Championship at Bandon Dunes and was part of the winning team at the Pacific Northwest PGA Pro-Assistant Championship.
My approach starts with fundamentals and focuses on the changes that will have the greatest impact on your ball flight and contact.
Build a more neutral clubface and improve start direction. Grip and setup are often the first places we look.
Develop a more neutral swing path and a predictable relationship between face and path.
Learn to control where the club meets the turf, including a simple line drill to improve ball-first contact.
The goal isn't to make every golfer swing the same way. It's to find the clearest route to more consistent, repeatable golf.
Junior golf should be fun, supportive, and full of opportunities to grow. I help lead junior instruction and programming at Meadow Springs Country Club, from first-time golfers to developing competitors.
Age-appropriate fundamentals, skill development, confidence, and positive habits.
Team golf that develops sportsmanship, friendships, and on-course experience.
Engaging group experiences and personalized coaching for each junior's goals.
