## Story

I was a Head Golf Professional for 18 years in northern Illinois. I moved to Los Angeles in 2018 so I could focus on teaching full time and year round. I teach all experience levels, both men and women. My passion is growing this great game with my expertise and seeing my students shot lower scores and having fun playing.
