I am outgoing and personable. I am patient, comprehensive and adaptable to anyone's needs and personality.
I like to camp and fish, as well as play and exercise with my dog.
I taught myself how to play tennis initially and then sought instruction from college coaches and professionals around the world.
During this time I have served as a High School Tennis Coach, Nike Tennis Director, Head and Associate Tennis Professional and College Coach. I have developed students in Oregon and California who are now winners on the court and off the court.
I am an avid basketball player and golfer. While in college, I had the opportunity to become a multi-sport athlete, however due to time constraints I dedicated myself primarily to tennis and education.

Teaching Style
I specialize in group lessons for all ages and skill levels. Additionally I offer private and semi-private lessons. Lessons are theme based and focus on the fundamentals of strokes, footwork and strategy. Each lesson starts with a dynamic warm-up and short assessment, followed by drills and games. The conclusion of the lesson encompasses a cool-down with static stretching, review and take-home tennis activities. I customize every lesson to help you learn more in less time.

Latest Reviews
Cole is very professional, punctual, responsive, and has a unique training skill set that is admirable.
I got 12 one hour lessons with Cole. From the first lesson to the last Cole did an excellent job helping me improve every part of my game. The lessons were fun and challenging at the same time. I would recommend Cole for lessons no matter what level or age group. If you are looking for a fun coach who knows his stuff Go with Cole.
First lesson - amazing. Took the time to evaluate where I already had some skill, quickly identified areas to work on, took a logical approach, and was both energetic and enthusiastic to help me build my tennis skills. Looking forward to the second lesson!
