Born in Maryland, I grew up in Baltimore County, participated in junior competitions, and led my high school team as captain. I worked and played golf with some influential people after finding a calling as a golf caddie at establishments like Caves Valley and The Bears Club, which I genuinely treasured. In 2006, I decided to pursue a career as an insurance broker, which I still do today, after realizing that the caddie yard would not be a good long-term environment for me. I recently found that my interest in teaching golf had returned. I am now fortunate to be able to impart my knowledge and skills. In May 2024, I obtained my USGTF teaching certification, and I am excited to meet new students who will share my love of this fantastic game.
