“Golf is a game that I fell in love with because I realized that every person plays the game differently, whether it be how we manage ourselves on the golf course, swing the golf club, or even the environment in which we choose to play golf; competitively or not. I firmly believe that golf was created for everybody and I am here to show you that you can improve your game to any level and have fun doing so.

Kevin grew up in the Bay Area in the city of Walnut Creek, CA.

He moved down to San Diego to attend San Diego State University where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. Kevin has been in the golf industry for almost 4 years and since joining has been able to improve his game and skills immensely.

“While baseball was my sport I always loved being able to get out onto the course. It’s one of those games that you get out what you want to put in, and much like baseball it almost always gets the best of you if you let it. I love the mental side of golf. If you want to be a great golfer it takes time and energy to focus on all facets of the game. If you just enjoy getting together with friends and having a fun day outside it takes time and energy to focus on all facets of the game.”
