About Alex

I am a Class A PGA Professional with more than 10 years of PGA Membership, bringing a diverse background in competitive golf, player development, instruction, and private club operations. My journey in the game began as a collegiate golfer before spending several years competing professionally on mini tours, experiences that shaped both my understanding of high-level performance and my passion for the game.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with golfers at every level — from active PGA Tour players to beginners picking up a club for the very first time. I believe great instruction is not only about swing mechanics, but about communication, confidence-building, and creating an environment where players genuinely enjoy the game and want to continue improving.

My instructional foundation was heavily influenced through time spent as a student of the renowned Hank Haney Golf Academy, where I further developed my philosophy around player development, individualized coaching, and the importance of simplifying the game for every type of golfer. I have also taught at multiple prestigious golf academies and private facilities, allowing me to blend elite-level instruction with a hospitality-driven approach centered around relationships and the overall member experience.

I am especially passionate about junior golf and long-term player development. Over the years, I have worked extensively with programs such as First Tee, PGA Jr. League, junior camps, ladies clinics, player development programs, and family golf initiatives designed to make the game more approachable and engaging for all ages and skill levels.

My approach has always been relationship-first. Whether working with competitive players, families, juniors, or new golfers, I strive to create a welcoming and energetic environment that reflects the standards of a premier private club while helping grow the game in a meaningful and lasting way.
