My father shared his passion for the game when I was young. My first memory was watching him hit golf balls at Tower Tee Driving Range — I remember my feet dangling from the bench. Golf was the thread that tied everything together throughout my life.

While running my DJ entertainment business, I connected with the lead instructor for the John Jacobs Golf Schools, who became my mentor. What started as a summer side job became a calling. Watching golfers achieve results they thought were impossible reignited something in me. Within six months I was teaching full-time, studying everything I could to help players reach their potential.

In 2009, the Titleist Performance Institute changed how I think about player development. TPI gave me a framework for building individualized programs — starting with a full physical and biomechanical assessment before ever touching the swing. Today every Catalyst program is built on that foundation, layered with tools like Trackman, K-Motion, Sportsbox 3D, and Smart 2 Move that let us see what the naked eye can’t.

As Director of Player Development at Catalyst Golf Performance, my goal is simple: help every player unlock what’s already in them. Whether you’re picking up a club for the first time or competing on tour, the process starts with understanding you — your body, your game, and your goals.
