What’s your favourite thing about teaching the game of golf?
Providing encouragement, enthusiasm, and patience to people’s golf game, whether it is playing a round of golf or practicing. Also, I love promoting golf by encouraging students to try our fun men’s and ladies’ nights or other activities taking place.

Who is your favourite pro golfer and why?
Lydia Ko, as she is a fun person to watch with a great swing, very relaxed and not afraid to laugh at herself when she has a bad shot. I would consider her a great role model for golfers of all ages.

What are you doing when you’re not teaching golf?
I enjoy spending time with my family and cheering on my sons while they are playing hockey and lacrosse. I also enjoy playing and watching soccer.
