Honest coaching, building your swing from the ground up
My swing starts with the same fundamentals every swing is built on: grip, stance, posture, and contact. If a drill doesn't work in my own bag, it doesn't make it into my lessons. I believe in training aids, lesson videos, and clear communication for feedback.
I've been a volunteer coach in The First Tee program since 2014. Worked on the floor at PGA Tour Superstore doing hundreds of fittings — every brand, every kind of player. Attended the 2026 PGA Show in Orlando researching the latest products. Quality-test new equipment as it comes out. That's where the launch monitor work and equipment-fit conversations come from. Not theory. Actual reps.
I branched out on my own because students need more than a 20-minute fitting bay or a once-a-week group session. Grassroots Garage Golf is where I give them real time, real fundamentals, real launch monitor data, and a clear path forward.
I'm always learning from the best. Whenever pro tours roll through Charlotte, I'm there — watching how the world's top players speak, play, and manage a course. The best teachers are not always the best athletes; just be coachable.
