Ambassador for the Sport

​

Driven by a mantra of “For the Love of the Game,” I see every student’s progress as a personal milestone. My students describe me as a master of blending technical expertise with genuine care, ensuring each player finds their unique style and excels at their own pace. As one student remarked:

“Steve takes the time to understand your unique needs and preferences, tailoring his teaching style to align with your learning process… If you're ready to learn or elevate your game, my tools, techniques, and personalized teaching style are exactly what you need to accelerate your progress!”

My teaching has reached players across the globe in Amsterdam, Aruba, Bermuda, Hawaii, Iceland, Japan, the Philippines, Portugal, and Thailand, and throughout the USA, in the following states; Nevada, Minnesota, Kansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio and Florida. Whether coaching beginners or mentoring future instructors, I ensure that every student not only improves but also cultivates a lifelong appreciation for the game.
