PGA Member on the Oregon Coast at Salishan Golf Links. I have been recognized for my work with junior students as the recipient of the 2020 Youth Player Development award for the Oregon Chapter and Pacific Northwest Section PGA. However, the majority of my students are adults and I enjoy working with students of any age. Ultimately, I am a coach for players of all abilities including beginners, juniors, hackers, seniors, degenerates and professionals.
I am an active tournament player, and I believe it is important to keep my own game sharp so I can be an example for the students I teach. As a collegiate golfer I won three events and was a 3-time 1st-Team All-Conference Award winner, and as a professional I have won dozens of regional Pro-Ams/Invitationals. In addition, I currently hold 3 course records.
My coaching philosophy centers around providing simple, clear instructions to my students. Everyone has experienced the “fog” of too many swing thoughts or feelings. This mental clutter distracts from the intentional focus necessary for improvement. I help my students create lasting, meaningful change as efficiently as possible by focusing on one concept at a time and filtering out what is getting in the way of results.

Salishan Golf Links is beautiful golf course located on the Oregon Coast, but we are not your traditional coastal links course. The yardage is playable for golfers of all abilities, but will test even the best of players with strategically tight fairways, difficult greens, and coastal weather conditions. We are also proud to offer an indoor simulator featuring Trackman 4 that can be utilized for lessons or hourly rentals. As part of a larger resort we are also able to offer many other amenities to our visitors. These include our hotel for multi-day stays, spa, aerial park, nature trails, BMX pump track, marketplace with varying shops and offerings, and several restaurants throughout the property.
