Matt’s motto:

 “There is nothing greater than seeing the joy and excitement of a student hitting a shot and knowing that they can do it”

A graduate of the University of Idaho, Matt's love of teaching was ignited during his first internship at Bully Pulpit Golf Course in Medora, ND.  Matt discovered the enjoyment of one on one working with a student, seeing the light bulb go on, and watching them execute the lesson and improve.  He continued to increase his lesson load during the following summer at Teton Springs Golf Club in Victor, Idaho.  He likes to utilize visual aids because they assist his students to actually see their problem spots. He tries to break the game down to its smallest components so that the student can easily grasp the concept and implement it.  At Indian Canyon Golf Course in Spokane he was able to hone his skills under the tutelage of PGA Pro Gary Lindeblad and Kathy Jensen, 2014 PGA national teacher of the year.  Here he was able to work with the Lewis and Clark High School Boy’s Golf Team and various club members.  Matt is eager to assist players at each skill level, hoping that they can love the game as much as he does.
