Michael grew up working in the industry and always dreamed of becoming a PGA Professional. After a junior career that was highlighted with a few wins, Michael was briefly a member of the University of Louisville Golf Team before graduating from Eastern Kentucky University as a member of the inaugural class of Professional Golf Management program. After doing everything in the industry on the green-grass side, Michael decided that he was truly passionate about teaching, and wanted to become the best instructor that he could be.
Once Michael became a full-time instructor, it became crystal clear that he needed to expand his knowledge base to better help his students. Michael began by studying "The Golfing Machine" by Homer Kelley underneath the guidance of Scott Hayes. While TGM gave Michael a great understanding of the geometry and Kinematics of the golf swing, it still left questions that led Michael to purchasing his first set of Smart2Move 1D Force Plates.
While learning about Ground Reaction Forces, Michael was introduced to Mike Adams and the rest of the BioSwing Dynamics team. Learning how to screen each athletes anatomy was a game changer for Michael and allowed him to understand what made each athlete different, and more importantly, how to coach each athlete to become the best they could. In addition to the network of BioSwing Dynamics coaches that Michael continues to work with, he has also completed the Scott Cowx Certified 5.5 program and uses that information to better understand wrist angle patterns and how those different patterns can be used to help players create a more consistent face angle.
Michael continues to attend multiple educations every year and is always seeking to refine his information base. In addition to working with athletes of all abilities, Michael also mentors several of his fellow PGA Professional coaches.
