My name is David and I have been playing the game of golf for 41 years with 23 of those years as a professional. During those 23 years, I have gained experience throughout the golf industry including playing mini tours and competing in the PGA Tour Q-School. Beyond my playing experience, I also have years of teaching experience at great facilities such as the PGA Tour Academy at the World Golf Hall of Fame, and currently teach out of The Yards at TPC Sawgrass. In conjunction with teaching, I have dedicated many years to learning club fitting and building while working for several major club companies as an on-course demo technician. My background as a top-level golf instructor, includes having had the honor to work with multiple PGA Tour players including US Open Champion and Players Champion Webb Simpson, 4x PGA Tour Winner Russell Henley and 2022 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Cam Young. While I enjoy working 1 on 1 with the world's best, I get just as much joy working with amateur players of all abilities and ages. I tailor my instruction based on each individuals' strengths and weaknesses. I am able to do this due to my love of always learning more about the game. That love of learning golf has led me to acquire multiple certifications from golfs biggest names in instruction, including Titleist Performance Institute (Level 1, Golf 2 and Power 2), Aim Point Express Certified, K-Vest Certified, BodiTrak Ground Force Certified and Swing Catalyst Certified.

"David is an honest experienced hard working professional! Highly recommend.

I’m a professional musician specializing in rock and blues since 1975. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by music—recording eleven rock and roll albums in Brazil and performing as a supporting act for legendary bands like Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, and Nazareth. I’ve also played in festivals alongside artists like Faith No More and other prominent American and British bands. Now at 60, I’ve moved to Florida to enjoy this next chapter of life with grace. But music remains a big part of who I am, and I feel it’s time to pass on my legacy to the next generation. I have two kids, aged 12 and 14, who already play multiple instruments and sing. I’ve been giving private lessons here in Jacksonville, though my reach has been limited—and I’d love the chance to expand. I grew up in a studio; my father was a bluesman in New Orleans and played several instruments himself. Music runs deep in my family, and I'm passionate about sharing everything I’ve learned over the years.
