I have 17 years of baseball experience, including pitching and playing outfield at the college level. During my career, I had the opportunity to learn from some incredible coaches who shaped the way I see the game. I worked with two former MLB hitting coaches, Tyler Holt and Brad Wilkerson, who taught me the details of hitting mechanics, approach, and preparation at a professional level. On the pitching side, I was coached by Tommy Boss, a former University of Florida standout, whose knowledge of the game and leadership on the mound helped me refine my pitching and understand the mental toughness it takes to compete. My background as a two-way player gives me a unique perspective that I now bring into coaching. I know the grind of balancing both sides of the game and the work it takes to succeed. My goal is to use that experience to help players develop their skills, grow their confidence, and maximize their potential both on and off the field.

"My son’s hitting completely turned around after working with him. Before, he was struggling with timing and wasn’t driving the ball the way he should. After just a few sessions, we saw a noticeable difference in his swing and confidence. By the end of the season, he was hitting harder and with much more consistency. The improvement was night and day, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

More than just swings and putts, golf is about strategy, precision, and mental fortitude. As a former college golfer with two decades of coaching experience, I'm dedicated to helping you unlock your golfing potential. Let's work together to refine your technique, build your confidence, and elevate your game.

My coaching style is patient, encouraging, and structured, helping players progress quickly while still having fun.
