Teaching Style

I pride myself with the ability to feed fast, thus giving the student the opportunity to hit lots of balls during their lesson. I want my students to be comfortable and ask questions. I believe teaching technique is important and is vital to being a successful player at any level. I like to establish goals with each of my students and work develop a specific path to meet their goals.
