Academy Staff

Chris is a dedicated Assistant Golf Coach at Raising Golfers Golf Academy, where he helps golfers achieve their goals and improve their game. With a physical education degree from SUNY Cortland and a passion for coaching youth sports for over 15 years, Chris has developed a deep understanding of how to teach golf to players of all ages and skill levels.

Chris’s love for the game was reignited during his four years of experience working with the New York Mets, where he had the opportunity to participate in client golf outings. His desire to entertain clients on the golf course led him to improve his own game, taking his handicap from a 25 to an 8 in just three seasons. Chris is currently working towards his PGA Professional certifications and practices every day in pursuit of his own golf goals, serving as an example of what hard work, consistency, and a commitment to progress can provide any golfer.

Chris brings a positive mindset, unmatched energy, and enthusiasm to every lesson. He understands that each player has their own individual struggles in their development and works on all skills of the game while focusing on the player’s specific needs. He believes in building long-term development plans customized to each player, taking them from point A to point Z and seeing results shift immediately. With Chris’s guidance, players have seen results change within just a few sessions, regardless of their skill level.

With previously working as a junior golf coach at Game Changers Golf Academy and currently working at Raising Golfers Golf Academy, Chris brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his coaching role. When Chris isn’t at the golf course, working on his players’ goals or his own game, you can find him on the beach in his hometown of Pacific Beach playing Spikeball or watching the sunset. He also enjoys cold plunging first thing in the morning, strength training, attending yoga classes, and drinking coffee.
