About
I’m a Teaching Professional and Golf Performance Coach from Ottawa Canada, working with golfers of all ages/skill who want more than quick fixes—they want clarity, structure, and measurable progress.
Coached First Tee program in California since 2012 (Level III Recognized Life and Golf Skills Coach). I’m a proud member of the PGA of Canada and was honoured as the 2025 PGA Ottawa Junior Leader of the Year, reflecting my commitment to developing junior golfers both on and off the course.
