A PGA Associate, I have been playing for more than 40 years and have worked in the golf industry for over three decades. Having taught more than 5,000 lessons since starting at GOLFTEC, my passion for golf and helping my students become better players is always a top priority. In addition to my role as certified personal coach at GOLFTEC, I am also the editor of GOLF Chicago Magazine and Varsity Boys Golf Coach at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein, IL. My golf career began as a Professional Golf Management major at Ferris State College in the mid-1980's and then continued as I worked as a sportswriter for the Chicago Tribune, covering the PGA Tour, Senior PGA Tour and LPGA Tour from 1988-1994.
