What is your proudest moment as a coach?

I love seeing a player come of the golf course knowing they have put in the work they needed to win and see the look of satisfaction saying “today was a great day”. I don’t want our players to leave shots on the course because we weren’t prepared or because we weren’t committed. If we do what we need to do at home, the results show up on the road and seeing it pay off for a player and a team is a very proud moment. It makes for some great post-round conversations and meals while building momentum for future success.

Laziness

What trait do admire the most?

Honesty

Rattlesnakes and forgetting something on my pack list

Local stop – Haleiwa Joe’s in Hawaii – best Ahi tuna

Best advice you received as a junior golfer?

I learned how to putt from a very dear friend and Dr. Bob Rotella disciple. These lessons revolutionized my game at the time. I started pouring in putts from all different distances and I still teach and go back to a set of simple drills when my, or one of our player’s, putting needs improvement.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I wish I could sometimes put career and team goals on hold to be the best husband and father I can be. Finding the balance is challenging in sports because everyone wants to win so badly. Family is always most important.

What is your greatest regret?

I try to live with no regrets. I want to find more time to work on my own game in the hopes of winning a tournament as a player again. I love competing!

Favorite colors?

Cardinal and Navy – America’s colors!

What is your motto?

Out work everyone and treat everyone with respect.

Talent you most desire in your players?

Short game, short game, short game – and a little bit of power too!
