About Me

I've played tennis since grade school, competed three seasons for Jesuit High School, and now coach juniors and adults, including as an assistant coach at Sherwood High School. My goal in every lesson is simple: help you fall in love with the game. Whether you're picking up a racket for the first time or sharpening your match play, we'll build real skills and have fun doing it.

Teaching Style

Every lesson starts with your goals, then builds around them:

Your goals first: we start with what you want to accomplish
Guided hitting & feeding: lots of quality reps with live feedback
Guided game play: put skills to work in real points
Specific shots: serve, forehand, backhand, volley, whatever you want to sharpen
Fun games & drills: keep it light and keep you coming back
Stroke technique that fits you: detailed coaching based on what works for your body and style
