About
Spent the first 20 years of my working life coaching high performance athletes in cross country and track & field. Coached athletes to provincial/national titles and onto the world stage at various international and world championships. I was fortunate to coach with the Canadian National Team for Canada for 10 years and be Canada's Head Coach at 4 World Championships.
Transitioning to coaching golf was a natural fit as I played most of my life. I served as the Men's Golf Coach at Queen's University for 2 years and have recently created a multidisciplinary Golf Academy called Per4mance Institute where our team helps golfers with a four pillar approach to help improve the Mental, Physical, Tactical and Technical sides of the game.
This past year I have combined my love of running and golf to start competing in the relatively new sport of Speedgolf. I competed in the US Open for Speedgolf and finished 3rd in the Senior Division. Recently I have accepted an invitation to compete at the 2024 World Speedgolf Championships in Japan at the end of the year.
I enjoy working with students who are serious about improving golf no matter what age or ability. My ideal client has nothing to do with ability but everything to do with effort and engagement. I teach in person at my private facility but also online with clients around the world using the Skillest App.
