I was born in Seattle, WA and raised in Princeton, NJ. I was introduced to the game of golf at age 4 by my grandfather. At the age of 13, my love for the game really took off. After a successful high school career, I went on to earn a scholarship to play on the golf team at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. I was named team captain for my Junior and Senior seasons and graduated with a B.A. in Economics.
Following graduation, I turned professional in the spring of 2011 and began competing on various developmental tours throughout the country. With the help of many accomplished coaches, my golf game continued to develop as I worked towards my goal of playing on the PGA Tour. During this process I witnessed how great coaches taught the game and experienced the importance of technology in golf instruction. Through those experiences my interest in golf instruction and coaching developed.
Since then, I have dedicated himself to becoming a well rounded and polished PGA Professional. I am passionate about helping people play better golf and to enjoy this great game. Currently, I am the Director of Instruction at Denver Country Club in Colorado where I enjoy coaching players of all skill levels. Previously, I had head professional roles at Bonneville Golf Club in Salt Lake City Utah and at The Club at Las Campanas, a 36 hole private golf and equestrian club in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Prior to that I served as an Assistant Professional at Denver Country Club in Colorado, Gulph Mills Golf Club and Huntingdon Valley Country Club in Pennsylvania and the Jupiter Island Club in Florida. I continue to have success competing in professional events regionally and nationally and have been fortunate to win three Section PGA Championships and to have been awarded Section PGA Player of the Year honors.
