About TJ

I began my professional journey in the United States Marine Corps, where I developed leadership, communication, and team-building skills that have shaped my entire career. After completing my service, I pursued golf management at Keiser University, where I studied under Master PGA Professionals and top instructors, earning my PGA Class A Membership in 2021.

Over the past decade, I’ve served in leadership roles at several premier facilities, including Highland Oaks on the Robert Trent Jones Trail, The Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa, and most recently Doublegate Country Club, where I advanced to Director of Golf/Head Golf Professional. In these positions, I managed multi-million-dollar operations, oversaw large staffs, and built programs that strengthened both player development and community engagement. My accomplishments include increasing merchandise sales and golf revenues, launching successful junior programs with over 100 participants, and hosting high-profile professional tournaments such as LPGA Q-Series and Korn Ferry Tour events.

Instruction has always been a core passion of mine. I’ve been recognized as a U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Coach, earned certification in multiple player development programs, and created innovative teaching experiences that blend technology with personalized coaching. Building on that passion, I recently founded The Swing Lab by King Performance Golf in Dothan, Alabama—a state-of-the-art indoor training facility dedicated to helping golfers of all levels reach their potential. Through The Swing Lab, I continue to advance my mission of growing the game by making high-quality instruction accessible, engaging, and community-focused.

My career reflects a balance of business leadership, player development, and community building, always with a focus on enhancing the experience of those I serve.
