Introduction: I am a graduate of Keiser University College of Golf, Class of 2014 and was a head Instructor for The Charter school of Port St. Lucie. I have been under the guidance of some of the finest instructors in the PGA profession; John Callahan (PGA Professional), Donna White (Class A PGA Teaching Club and LGPA Hall of Fame), Eric Wilson, PH.D (Master Professional) and Dr. TJ Tomasi, PH.D. (PGA Top 100 Teachers.) I have been USGTF Certified since 2015. While attending college I helped instruct in two I-9 Golf Programs and I became a certified instructor in impact zone and special olympics. I am currently working towards a certification in Tathata Golf. I am a Certified Club Fitter for Calloway, Taylor Made, Ping, Titleist, Srixon and Cleveland companies. I am a Lead Instructor for the TGA Golf franchise based in Bergen County and a Store Supervisor for the PGA Tour Superstore in Paramus, NJ. Before becoming a golf instructor, I enjoyed coaching other sports and working closely with kids and adults. Golf has always been my passion. Helping others experience the same joy that I feel when I play the game is what makes my job so enjoyable.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first lesson is learning what the client is looking for in their golf game. After analyzing their swing and answering some questions, I will determine the best course of action.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
USGTF- United States Golf Teachers Federation Certified Instructor Keiser University College of Golf Graduate/Major in Golf Management Impact Zone Certified Video Swing Analysis
How did you get started doing this type of work?
For the past twenty years I have been in search of the perfect golf swing which lead me to the Keiser University. There, I learned how to play to a 5 handicap. I wanted to teach other people that they too can achieve their personal best.
