My Coaching Experience

I love helping young people grow through the game of golf—both as players and as people. My coaching approach is rooted in my faith and focuses on building character, confidence, and a genuine enjoyment of the game. I believe golf should be fun, encouraging, and a place where kids feel supported as they learn.

I competed for two seasons on the golf team at Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne, where I gained experience playing at a high level while learning the importance of sportsmanship and integrity. Those lessons continue to shape how I coach today.

For the past 18 years, I have worked in education, which has given me a strong foundation in working with children and families. I have coached many sports and ability levels, but golf is where my passion and experience come together. I currently serve as the head golf coach at West Noble Middle School, previously coached both the boys’ and girls’ teams at West Noble High School, and have spent the past three years coaching in the Junior PGA program at Cobblestone Golf Course.

As a parent of three young golfers—Brooks (12), Adleigh (10), and Carolina (5)—youth golf is a big part of our family life. I focus on age-appropriate instruction that keeps kids smiling, builds confidence, and helps them fall in love with the game. My goal is to create positive experiences that encourage families to enjoy golf together and give young players a foundation they can carry for a lifetime. 

My Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is centered on meeting the individual needs of each golfer while honoring the values of patience, integrity, and intentional growth. In order to best meet individual needs, I obtained my Titleist Performance Institute - Level 1 Certification in 2026. This certification along with my personal experience allow me to meet the needs of golfer regardless of experience level. For younger or less experienced golfers, lessons focus on building a strong foundation through proper setup, stance, grip, and fundamental swing techniques. Just as importantly, these early stages are designed to be fun and encouraging, helping young golfers develop confidence, curiosity, and a genuine enjoyment of the game. Creating positive early experiences is key to making golf something they want to continue for a lifetime. As a player’s experience and skill increase, instruction becomes more individualized and responsive. Lessons are shaped by what the golfer’s body movement, swing mechanics, and ball flight reveal. At higher levels, improvement often comes not only through swing adjustments, but also through growth in physical training, course management and mental toughness. Regardless of skill level, my goal is to serve each golfer well by helping them enjoy the process, pursue excellence through consistent effort, and develop habits that support growth beyond lesson sessions. I strive to help young golfers compete with humility and respect while building a love for the game that lasts well beyond their playing years.
