After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts he turned Professional in 2000 playing various tours around the world.

He became PGA Class A in 2005. To further his coaching career he moved back to Sarasota, Florida in 2006. Jon worked for Jonathan Yarwood and assisted his coaching of numerous PGA Tour players including a US Open Champion, 2 years Amateur Champions and LPGA players.

Jon’s teaching methods are a blend of experience, education and imagination. Jon looks at every player as an individual to form a holistic approach to coaching. The goal is to find the best way for a player to swing the golf club. This involves looking at the body type of the player to create a movement that functions efficiently. Using the impact facts that create the ball flight laws Jon can help a player improve their swing.
Jon is a Certified Plane Truth Level 2 Instructor and uses Mr. Hardy’s +/- system when evaluating a new student. This allows Jon to prescribe the best fix for the student and see immediate improvements in technique and consequently the ball flight. To achieve peak performance the player needs a balance swing technique, short game, putting, mental, fitness and equipment. If any aspect of a player’s game is lacking; it will be hard for them to consistently reach their potential.
