My Story

Originally from Australia, I earned my PGA Professional certification and spent years honing my coaching skills in some of the world's most competitive golf markets. My journey eventually led me to Alberta, Canada, where I've been privileged to work with golfers of all skill levels—from beginners taking their first swing to elite competitors preparing for tournaments.

What drives me is seeing the moment when something "clicks" for a student. Whether it's a junior golfer making solid contact for the first time, or a seasoned player finally mastering that elusive shot shape, these breakthrough moments remind me why I love what I do.

My approach to coaching is built on three pillars: technical excellence, personalized instruction, and genuine care for each student's journey. I believe that every golfer is unique, and cookie-cutter instruction simply doesn't work. That's why I take the time to understand your goals, analyze your swing, and create a customized development plan that fits your learning style and schedule.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is simple: sustainable improvement through understanding. I don't believe in quick fixes or band-aid solutions. Instead, I focus on helping you understand the fundamentals of the golf swing and how to apply them to your unique body type and athletic ability.

I use video analysis extensively, not just to show you what you're doing, but to help you understand why certain movements produce certain results. This knowledge empowers you to self-correct on the course and continue improving even when we're not together.

Beyond technique, I emphasize the mental side of golf. Course management, pre-shot routines, and managing pressure are all critical skills that separate good golfers from great ones. My goal is to develop complete players who can perform their best when it matters most.
