Biography & Philosophy

In 1997 I completed my PGA schooling and became a member of the PGA. That same year I was awarded the position of head golf professional at the club. I had come full circle since I had decided that I didn’t want to be a golf professional at a country club and quit the golf program in college. But even from my start as an apprentice, my true dream was to play golf for a living, to be a PGA Tour player. I was working six days a week, but I always made time to practice and play. I stayed on the course until dark almost every day of the season.

Maturity brought the motivation, determination, and focus that I didn’t possess in my younger years. Now, improving and becoming the best I could be was an obsession.

Every winter from 1993 through 2001, I was very fortunate that the members at my club raised money for me to play on one of the many professional winter tours in Florida. For me, a typical day in Florida, when not playing in a tournament, was to get up early in the morning to exercise and stretch, hit balls for a couple of hours, play 18 holes of golf, hit some more balls, and go back to the gym at night. No going out at night or socializing, just a 100% focus on golf and improving my game.

"The Negotiable Golf Swing"

An excerpt from my recently released book that dispels the notion that you must conform to popular philosophy of the "perfect" golf swing. Analyze and compare the swing path of Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk in a side-by-side comparison of the golf swing.             View excerpt...
