About Ian

I’m passionate about helping golfers of all abilities reach their goals through personalized, purpose-driven instruction. Whether you're a brand-new player looking for a solid foundation or a competitive golfer seeking a data-driven edge, I tailor each lesson to fit your needs and learning style.

I coach players of all abilities— from beginners who need fundamentals to get a fun and fresh start to learning the game, to advanced golfers utilizing launch monitor data to fine-tune mechanics and optimize competitive performance.

I’m a proud PGA HOPE Certified Instructor, ADM (American Development Model) Certified Junior Instructor, and PGA Junior League Coach, with a focus on making golf welcoming and developmentally appropriate for all ages and backgrounds.

In addition to coaching, I’m a certified Titleist club fitter and offer custom club fittings using components from Callaway, Cobra, TaylorMade, and Titleist — ensuring every golfer has the right equipment to support their swing and goals.

My Philosophy: Coaching is built on mentorship, consistency, and a belief in long-term growth. Meaningful results come from purposeful practice and clear, achievable goal-setting.
