I’m not going to teach you my golf swing.

I grew up in Plainfield and played competitive junior golf before joining the Ball State men’s golf program. After college, I turned professional and continued competing while getting deeper into instruction.

Over the years I have taught more than 200 golfers and coached players at very different levels. I also spent several seasons as the head golf coach at Avon High School. In 2021, our team advanced to the State Finals.

I still compete as part of Divot Golf Factory’s GOLFZON Tour team—not because I expect students to play the way I do, but because golf keeps reminding every player, including the instructor, how difficult this game can be.

That experience informs the lesson. It never becomes a one-size-fits-all swing model.
