With a passion for golf that began at the age of 10, I’ve dedicated over 35 years to the game—building a career rooted in experience, performance, and a deep love for teaching. From humble beginnings washing clubs in country club bag rooms to competing on Mini Tours across North America, golf has shaped every step of my journey.
Today, I’m proud to be a Class A Member of the PGA of Canada and to have been recognized as a Top 25 Quebec PGA Professional for three consecutive years.
During the winter months, I continue to develop players of all levels at my indoor training facility in NDG, as well as at Dickson Golf. Throughout the off-season, I also offer professional club fitting services for all major brands at Golf1600.
In the summer, I teach at L’Académie du Parcours du Cerf in Longueuil, where I work with golfers of all levels in an outdoor setting to translate practice into on-course performance.
Whether you're looking to improve your game, get properly fit for equipment, or build a long-term development plan, I’m here to help.

I discovered golf later than most, picking up the game at 15—and never looking back. After years of enjoying the sport as an amateur, I turned professional in 2007. My first role as an assistant teaching pro took me to Aruba for an unforgettable year before returning to Canada to marry, start a family, and continue teaching.
I was formally trained over three years under Ted Frick of the Carolina Professional Golf Association in South Carolina, blending his expertise with my own natural teaching style. I’ve also trained in club fitting and building under Don Irving of Artisan Golf, working with cutting-edge technology like TrackMan, ForesightFlightscope—the same trusted tool used on the PGA Tour.
I believe every golfer’s swing is unique and shouldn’t be forced into a mold. My approach is to guide players toward understanding the key moments at impact that create the results they want. From there, fine-tuning becomes an enjoyable process.
Golf is a game we all strive to improve at, and I’m no different—I’m always learning. In fact, I learn from every student I teach. Helping others improve not only grows their game, but mine as well.

I first picked up a golf club at six years old, growing up in a family where almost everyone played. Although I showed potential early on, I was always a baseball player first. It wasn’t until I was 20 that I took my first lesson from a PGA Professional. Until then, I relied mostly on natural ability carried over from baseball. Within two years, I went from consistently shooting in the 90s to becoming a single-digit handicap.
My philosophy for the golf swing is simple: it’s a set of basic movement patterns working together, not a checklist of positions to hit. Every swing is slightly unique based on a golfer’s physical makeup, but the underlying athletic movements are universal and visible across many sports. My goal as your coach is to help you apply the athletic skills you already have while learning the new ones that will help you improve as a golfer.

I started my golf journey at the young age of 4 years old. Growing up, I would take golf road trips with my family, where we would stop at different courses to play a round. These trips taught me how to simply love the game of golf.
I wanted to become a golf professional so that I can help golfers of all skill levels achieve their goals. Whether you want to be good enough to play 18 holes with friends, or work towards becoming a golf professional yourself, I am here for you. My goal as a professional golfer is not to change your swing, but to clearly explain how and why certain things work the way they do in the golf swing. I want you to enjoy the world’s greatest game as much as I do.
I have developed my own teaching techniques naturally over the years by helping friends and family. My coach, Elie Koffman, has graciously taken me under his wing, and has provided me with unparalleled guidance that comes from his 25+ years of professional golf experience. From this knowledge, I have both improved as a player, as well as a teacher. I look forward to working together and sharing the intricacies of this beautiful game with all of you.
