Hello! I am the Head Golf Professional at Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana, CA, and leader of the all-new Willowick Golf Academy. I spent 2020 to 2023 on the east coast, where I served as the Lead Instructor/Junior Golf Coordinator for the Learning Center at Compass Pointe in Maryland. I am originally from Mill Valley, CA just north of San Francisco, and am thrilled to be back home in California! As a multi-sport athlete growing up, I did not get into golf until age 14. I was named team captain of my high school golf team as a junior, made all-league teams three years and won the league championship individual title senior year. I would go on to play NCAA collegiate golf at Occidental College in Los Angeles, where again I was named team captain as a junior.

As a coach, I believe in an individualized and holistic approach. I have a passion for helping players of any and all ages and skill levels achieve their best, and have a variety of tools to help each student. This includes incorporating modern technology (i.e. Sportsbox 3D) with old-school fundamentals, health and fitness, course management, and mental game coaching. I enjoy working with both juniors and adults, introducing new players to the game, as well as coaching more experienced golfers looking for that competitive edge.
