About Ryan

A coach who truly cares.

If you're looking for someone who listens first and coaches second — someone who meets you where you are and helps you discover what works for your body and your swing — you'll feel the difference from the very first lesson.

Ryan's approach is guided, not prescriptive. Every golfer who walks up deserves full attention and best effort. That belief drives everything — from how lessons are structured to the world-class coaches Ryan continues to learn from.

TPI Certified — For Every Golfer

As a fully certified Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) professional, Ryan understands how your body influences your swing. TPI screening helps identify the most efficient way for you to move — whether you're a junior developing athletic foundations, an adult looking to play pain-free, or a competitive player chasing performance gains.

Continuing education with the world's best:

What Students Say

Results speak for themselves.

"Ryan has a gift for simplifying the complex. After years of lessons that left me more confused, I finally found a coach who speaks my language. My handicap has dropped, but more importantly, I actually understand my swing now."

Michael T. Member, Mad River Golf Club · 8 handicap

"My son started with Ryan at age 9. Six years later, he's on his journey to play collegiate golf. Ryan has been patient, encouraging, and always focused on long-term development — never rushed, never pressured."

Lara H. Parent of junior competitive golfer

"The short game sessions completely transformed my approach around the greens. Ryan's calm, methodical teaching style gave me confidence I never had before. I'm saving 5-6 shots per round."

David R. Adult program participant · 15 handicap

"Ryan's long-term development program allowed me to win 3 out of 4 match play events at Mad River. His approach is both simple and methodical. Whenever I had a concern, he was there to help."

James P. Competitive member · 6 handicap

"I came to Ryan as a complete beginner at 55. He never made me feel rushed or embarrassed. Two seasons later, I'm shooting in the 90s and loving every round. Best investment I've made."

Robert K. Adult beginner program

"Ryan changed my approach to finesse shots inside 100 yards, which allowed me to compete at the highest level of collegiate golf. His understanding of the short game is exceptional."
