Birthplace: Brookfield, WI

Turned Professional: 1984

Career Highlights:

• I was elected to Class "A" status April of 1990.
• From 1984-1987 I was an Assistant Professional at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix, Arizona.
• In 1986-1988 I was an Assistant at Westmoor C.C. in Brookfield, WI.
• From 1989-1992 I was the Head Golf Professional at Tuscumbia Golf and Tennis Club in Green Lake, WI.

Teaching Principles:

My overall philosophy is to adapt swing technique to the student’s physical ability. I promote the swinging of the club so as to return the head properly through the impact area. Through my teaching I enforce the fundamentals of grip, aim, and setup and stressing that the proper address position allows for a more proper swing. The most important part of a lesson with me is to review fundamentals while not overloading your head with swing thoughts.

Teaching Principles:

I begin each lesson with an interview process to determine the student’s abilities, goals, and also the commitment to achieve their goals. My philosophy of the golf swing all starts with proper posture grip and alignment, so a player can achieve the maximum results with less effort. Next I work on the mechanics of the swing plane to assure the student returns the club face to a square position at impact, resulting in a purely struck golf shot.

Teaching Principles:

I work with each student as an individual by establishing his or her goals and objectives. Once finding the needs of each player, I develop a program to meet their needs.

I feel the best way to work with a student is to establish good fundamentals, reinforce them with a strong background of swing mechanics, and provide positive feedback from advanced video software - in order to create a great golf swing and a greater golf performance.
