About
With over 20 years of experience in professional golf instruction, fitness training, and business development, I bring a unique combination of expertise, passion, and leadership to the role. My background in competitive golf, coaching, and entrepreneurship has equipped me with the skills to help players of all levels refine their technique, build confidence, and achieve their goals.
As the Founder and Lead Instructor of The Links Academy since 2008, I have designed and implemented customized golf and fitness programs tailored to individual and group needs. My experience as an Assistant Golf Coach at Perry High School and a Special Olympics Coach has further deepened my ability to connect with athletes of diverse skill levels and backgrounds. Additionally, my tenure at TPC Sawgrass as an Assistant Golf Instructor and Operations Supervisor exposed me to the highest standards of golf course management and player development.
Beyond instruction, my entrepreneurial background—including founding and successfully selling Real Turf Solutions—demonstrates my ability to manage operations, drive growth, and build strong client relationships. My leadership, combined with my education in kinesiology and physical education, allows me to incorporate biomechanics and fitness into my coaching approach, helping players maximize their performance and prevent injuries.
