Began his golf career in Southern California.
An active Junior Golf career had him playing National and local events with a few victories along the way.
Always keen on improving I was fortunate to learn from some of Golf’s Legends:
Jerry Barber, Paul Runyan, Johnny Revolta,, Jack Fleck and Eddie Merrins. I also include Gregg Mchatton and Jim Petralia as strong mentors on my path to playing and teaching the game more effectively.
