Chris is entering his fourth year as the Head Coach of the men’s and women’s golf teams.   Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Chris grew up playing baseball, soccer and hockey. In high school, soccer was his main sport. When Chris was 16, he went to Sweden, Norway and Denmark to play in some of soccer’s best youth tournaments against some of the best youth soccer players from all over the world.  In his junior year in HS, Chris was recruited to play soccer at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.   Always intrigued with the game of golf, it wasn’t until Chris was 17 years old that he picked up a golf club and swung it at the driving range for the first time. Chris was hooked, and a short three years later, he was on his college golf team. While Chris was a three-sport athlete in college (soccer, ice hockey and golf), he fell in love with golf. After graduating from North Central College, Chris realized golf was his passion and he began his journey in the World of Golf.   In the early stages of his golf career, Chris found himself more intrigued with the inner workings of the golf swing than the business side of golf and decided that he wanted to explore a career in teaching/coaching the game.   In the last 22 years, Chris has worked in all arenas of golf from public to private clubs and Resort to Teaching Academies. He’s enjoyed teaching all levels of golfers from beginners to Tour Pros at facilities such as TPC Sugarloaf, Marriott Golf Academy and the David Leadbetter Golf Academy.   Chris lives in Bluffton, SC with his wife, Erin, and Is proud to be part of the SCAD family.   YEAR HONORS 2025-26 Men Four All-Conference Acadmeic Team Four NAIA Scholar Athletes Won One Tournament  Women NAIA National Champions NAIA Coach of the Year Sun Conference Coach of the Year  Sun Conference Player of the Year Sun Conference Champions Sun Conference Individual Champion Three All-Sun Conference Five All-Conference Academic Team Three WGCA All-Americans Three NAIA All-Americans Five NAIA Scholar Athletes Won four Tournaments   2024-25 Men One Tournament Win Five Named to Sun Conference All-Academic Team Five Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes Four Golf Coaches Association of America Cobalt Golf All-America Scholars Women Ranked No. 3 in the NAIA Five Tournament Wins Runner-Up at the Sun Conference Championship Sixth at the NAIA National Championship Individual Runner-Up at the NAIA National Championship Sun Conference Coach of the Year Sun Conference Freshman of the Year Five Named to SUN All-Conference Team Eight Named to Sun Conference All-Academic Team Four NAIA All-Americans Eight Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes 2023-24 Men Four Named to Sun Conference All-Academic Team Four Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes Women Ranked No. 4 in the NAIA Four Tournament Wins Sun Conference Player of the Year Three Named to SUN All-Conference Team Seven Named to Sun Conference All-Academic Team Seven Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes Four NAIA All-Americans Two College Sports Communicators All-Disctrict Honorees Runner-Up at Sun Conference Championship Fourth at the NAIA National Championship 2022-2023 Men Four named to Sun Conference All-Academic Team Four Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes GCAA Outstanding Team Academic Award Three GCAA All-America Scholars   Women Ranked No. 5 in the NAIA Second at the Sun Conference Championship Three All-Sun Conference Selections Seven named to the Sun Conference All-Academic Team Tied for sixth at the NAIA National Championship Three NAIA All-Americans Seven Daktronics NAIA Scholar-Athletes
