Why I Do This

Growing up without access to high-level golf education or elite facilities, I had to rely on discipline, persistence, and family support to chase my dreams. That experience drives my mission today: to give juniors, competitive amateurs, and aspiring professionals the tour-level training, fitness, and strategy I once fought to find on my own. I coach because I believe every player who wants to compete at the highest level deserves a clear path, real mentorship, and someone in their corner who’s lived the journey themselves.

My Philosphy

At Strong Golfer Academy, I train players like athletes, competitors, and leaders — because that’s what the game demands.

Scoring & Strategy

It all begins with decisions. Every round of golf is shaped by choices, whether to attack, whether to play safe, and how to manage the course under pressure. At Strong Golfer Academy, scoring is the mission. I teach players to think like competitors, manage risk, and build a system that turns smart strategy into lower scores.

Systems of Development

Great golfers aren’t built by chance. They are developed through structure, accountability, and consistent progression. At Strong Golfer Academy, every program follows a clear path with measurable goals, combining lessons, fitness, and competition prep into one system. Champions aren’t born, they are built.

Fitness & Mobility

The body is the engine of the swing. Without strength, speed, and flexibility, even the best technique can break down when it matters most. At Strong Golfer Academy, training goes beyond the range. We build athletic, golf-specific fitness that supports power, protects the body, and fuels performance year-round.

Mental Toughness

Golf demands clarity, patience, and resilience. Success comes not just from skill, but from the ability to stay composed when the stakes are high. At Strong Golfer Academy, I give players proven systems to quiet the noise, handle pressure, and perform their best when it matters most.

Credentials &

Experience

Competing on mini tours has given me firsthand experience with the pressure, preparation, and mindset required to perform at the professional level. These experiences shape how I train players to think, prepare, and execute like true competitors.
As a graduate of Ferris State University’s Professional Golf Management program and now a PGA Certified Instructor, I bring together competitive playing experience and world-class golf education. My time at Ferris gave me access to top instructors, industry leaders, and internships at premier golf destinations. By blending my firsthand playing experience with the structured, research-driven training I received, I coach players with both practical wisdom and professional systems, giving them the tools to succeed at the highest level.
Growing up in a rural town, I didn’t have access to high-end coaching or elite golf facilities. That challenge became the foundation for Strong Golfer Academy. I built a private indoor training facility and an online platform to make tour-level instruction available anywhere — not just in big cities or exclusive clubs. My goal is to give juniors, adults, and aspiring professionals in all areas the same opportunity to learn with launch data, structured systems, and coaching that blends competitive playing experience with world-class education. Whether in person or online, Strong Golfer Academy is designed to close the gap for players who want to play at the highest level.
The short game is where tournaments are won and handicaps are lowered. As a specialist in putting, chipping, pitching, and wedge play, I help players sharpen the most important part of their scoring system. My coaching blends technical skill with touch, creativity, and strategy around the greens, giving golfers the tools to save strokes and perform under pressure.
