Hello, I am the Director of Instruction at the Heart of Texas Golf Academy.  I am blessed to share my passion for the game of golf with people of all ages and from all walks of life.  I believe in building better athletes and fundamentally sound golfers to best equip them with the tools necessary to achieve their goals in this lifelong game.  I enjoy a wide range of challenges from putting a club into the hands of a child for the first time to preparing a professional to compete at the highest levels of golf in the world.  My philosophy for teaching the game is based on building better athletes and great people.  In conjunction with developing my student's physical and mental abilities, I instill in them the fundamentals of the game needed to develop a repetitive and consistent golf swing.
