First Assistant Golf Professional
Summary of background and credentials.
I have played golf ever since I was 12 years old. After playing high
school golf I decided I wanted to enroll in the PGM program at Arizona
State, where I earned my Class A Professional status. While playing in
Pepsi Tour and section events I also worked at multiple first class
facilities around the Scottsdale area and gained valuable knowledge to
help advance my career. I moved from Scottsdale, AZ to work at Old
Hawthorne Golf Club because it was a great opportunity for my career
and it gave my wife and I an opportunity to live in the town we grew
up in and love.
What was your motivation to become a Golf Professional
I have enjoyed playing golf ever since I was in middle school and
decided I wanted to be around the sport my whole life. Bill
Eschenbrenner, PGA Master professional and 2005 professional of the
year spoke with me about the PGM program and how he thought that I
would be a great fit for it. I took his advice and have enjoyed being a
PGA Professional.
What is your specialty in the golf business
I specialize in customer service, instruction and tournament
management.
Please list any accomplishments.
I am a Class A PGA Professional.

What was your greatest moment in golf
My first tournament win at the age of 15 in Truth or Consequences,
New Mexico. I was hooked after that.
What or who has had the greatest impact on your career
My father has had the greatest impact on my career. He has always
taught me that a positive attitude is the most important factor in
helping yourself succeed.
Besides golf, what else do you enjoy
I love spending time with my family. I have a beautiful wife and
wonderful 2 year old son.
If you could play any golf course in the world, which one would
it be and who would complete your foursome
I would love to play Augusta National. My other three players would
consist of Jack Nicklaus, Vince Vaughn, and Adam Sandler
If you could give lessons to anyone in the world who would it
be and what advice would you give
It would be with Charles Barkley and I would give him a basketball and
tell him to use it.
What is your favorite golf instruction tip
Don't spend hours on the range and waste your time by overanalyzing
your swing. Stick to one or two key points to work on and practice
with quality, not quantity.
