About John

Golf isn't just a career for JC, it’s a passion. Raised right here in Gilbert, Arizona, JC started coaching juniors under the mentorship of PGA Professional Craig Hocknull.

His approach to movement is truly unique, drawing from his history as a multi-sport athlete. His diverse athletic background allows him to relate to every golfer, using each individual's unique body and past experience to create a more powerful and effective golf swing.

Teaching Philosophy

JC's core philosophy is simple and highly-personalized. He doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. For experienced players, he helps improve the swing they have already developed. For those new to the game, he focuses on building a foundational swing brick by brick.

His dedication to the game is also deeply personal. After a severe back injury paused his playing days, he had to completely teach himself how to swing again. This challenging experience gave him the ability to connect with golfers recovering from injuries, giving them the confidence to make a free motion and play without the fear of reinjury.
