"The lesson with Jean-jacques was quite good, especially because I learned what I’d been missing in my technique. Though I need to get better overall, I appreciated the focus on specific aspects of my game. Still, I think I’ll benefit from more lessons to really improve those areas. It’s been a solid step forward, and I’d encourage others to give Jean-jacques a try if you're looking to hone your pickleball skills.

Golf has been a part of my life for more than 3 decades. As an avid junior golfer, I won a club championship, made all conference my sophomore - senior year in high school. I was a part of 2 regional championship teams as well as an 11th place and 7th place finish in high school state championships. From a young age it’s been my passion. Now that I’m in corporate America being able to use my talents to help win numerous charity benefits and raise money for many great causes has been more than fulfilling. I’ve seen the game evolve from wooden drivers and shot shaping course management to now teeing it high and letting it fly. One of the best benefits about golf is not only can you enjoy the game your entire life but you can find satisfaction in the game no matter your skill level. So if you're just a beginner looking to dip your toes in the water, or if you’ve been playing golf for a long time and feel like you’ve plateaued and you’ll never get better, or maybe you're just tired of letting your buddies get in your wallet. Whatever the skill level, whatever the reason, I want to help you achieve the satisfaction and enjoyment that golf has to offer.

With 30 years of experience, I guide students to find their own voice through the instrument. I tailor lessons to individual needs, fostering both technical mastery and a lifelong love of music.

"We instilled Discipline, Diligence and Focus during our practice sessions at home. Alex at years of age: Mommy, when can I stop practicing. Me: When you are 35 years old.
