Our Story

I moved from Harrisburg to Philadelphia without knowing a single person in the city. I wanted to meet people—but not just to fill time. I wanted to spend it with people who had intention behind showing up.

Everyone says “find a mentor” but nobody tells you how. There’s no playbook for it. You’re left sending cold messages on LinkedIn, hoping someone responds, and then trying to coordinate something that may never happen.

Then I got lucky.

I played golf with a VP of Technology at a vendor event, and he reached out to me afterward. That one conversation changed how I thought about my career. It wasn’t a formal mentorship. It was just two people talking on a golf course—but it mattered.

That’s when it clicked.

Golf already solves the hard parts. You get hours together. The conversation flows naturally. You’re side by side, not staring at each other across a table. It’s not awkward and both people walk away having gotten something real out of it.

The only problem was—there was no place to do this on purpose.

No platform where a mentor could raise their hand and say, “I’m open to this.”
No way for someone starting out to find them without sending hail mary LinkedIn messages.

So I built one.

I have an IT background. I didn’t know how to code. But I knew how to solve problems, and I knew how to learn—and I believed this could make people’s lives better. So I figured it out.

That’s OnCourse Mentors.

A place where mentees can find mentors in their field and book a round of golf together. No guesswork. No ghosting. No awkward first messages. Just two people on a course—one a little further along than the other—sharing what they’ve learned.

Building the platform was one thing. Running it the right way—that’s the real commitment.

I own OnCourse Mentors. There are no shareholders. No board. Every decision runs through one filter: is this good for the people using it?

Your data stays yours. I don’t sell it, and I don’t share it.

I keep pricing as low as I can—not as high as the market will allow. I’m not trying to extract the most from every user. I’m trying to build something worth using.

When users tell me what they want, I build it. Not because it’s a good business strategy—because that’s how this should work.

I don’t want OnCourse to be another company that says the right things in its marketing and does something different behind the scenes. I want people to look at this and think, “If more companies operated like this, things would be better.”

That’s the standard I hold myself to.

Not my LLC—me.
