About Me
How I got here
It was during my time in the Army that I discovered the game of golf. I was hooked instantly and found every excuse to find myself on the golf course. Following my deployment in 2019, one of my therapists asked me what physical activity I wanted to be able to do. There was only one answer: golf. My therapist told me about a program he had just learned about called PGA HOPE. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a PGA HOPE program in GA at the time. It took several more months of therapy before I was allowed to start playing again and it was in golf that I found an unknown mental and emotional respite. When faced with the need for a new career, I was determined to ensure no other Veteran wound find themselves without a PGA HOPE program. My girlfriend (now wife) was moving to Fayetteville, NC in late 2020, so I looked for options for a pathway to PGA membership in the area. A quick Google search revealed an obvious choice: Methodist University.

At Methodist, I was able to deep dive into my two passions: PGA HOPE and teaching the game of golf. On top of my studies, I worked as an Assistant Golf Professional at Highland Country Club where I was a US Kids Golf instructor and taught individual lessons to a wide variety of players as well as men’s and ladies’ clinics. I also lead the fitting and club repair operations. In January of 2023, I started my own coaching business, Dynamic Golf Solutions. In November of 2023, I joined the faculty and staff as the Head Golf Professional and Director of Instruction for the Methodist University PGA Golf Management Program.
My teaching philosophy extends beyond the physical golf swing to include mental strengthening exercises and emotional control techniques. This holistic approach combined with cutting edge technology helps each individual find the complete golfer inside them.
