I started Pilot School of Golf on one belief: in golf, improvement should be measured, not guessed.

Too many lessons end with a vague feel and no proof anything changed. I wanted to build the opposite — a place where you see exactly what your ball is doing, you know the number you're trying to move, and you can watch it move. No one-size-fits-all swing template. No sales pitch. Just a clear plan and the data to back it.

I've been playing golf since I could walk — my mom likes to say my first toy was a cut-off golf club. I tried to make a go of it as a player and realized that wasn't sustainable, so I went to Texas A&M for degrees in engineering and mathematics. That took me to Houston, where I built and ran an engineering and consulting firm for years. When it sold, it gave me the chance to go back to my first love — golf.

I started as the second assistant at Bay Oaks Country Club, and I'm enjoying my new office immensely.

I'm a PGA Apprentice, working through the PGA Professional Golf Management (PGM) program — the certification path for PGA of America membership. It's built on instruction, player development, and running a golf operation to a professional standard, and it's the backbone of how I coach and how this facility is run.

What you'll get from me is straightforward. Every lesson starts on a launch monitor. Every change gets checked against real numbers — carry, dispersion, strokes gained. And you'll always know what we're working on and why. That's the Pilot Method, and it's how I'd want to be taught.
