With over 20 years of experience in competitive golf, I bring a unique perspective to coaching. I started playing at 3 years old, won numerous junior tournaments, and made my first hole-in-one at age 5. By 14, I had collected over 100 tournament trophies and was competing in professional mini tours, which eventually led me to play Division 1 golf at Cal State Fullerton. My career has included college coaching, professional caddying, and now more than 5 years of dedicated instruction for players at every level. To give my students every advantage, I use a Foresight GCQuad launch monitor, the same technology trusted by PGA Tour players and major club companies. It provides precise feedback on ball speed, spin, launch, club path, and carry distance, allowing us to track progress, spot swing patterns, and dial in exactly how far each club goes.

"I highly recommend Sean as a piano teacher. My first lesson followed lessons for two young beginning students (I arrived early). Sean was sensitive to the child’s musical ability and ambition (the children were at opposite ends of the spectrum). He made good use of the time and both children left with a sense of accomplishment. As for me, a revenant adult player, Sean was a great find.  Teaching skills and talent and expertise don’t always come bundled… but they do in Sean! -Michelle R.
