About Me

I teach modern semi-open stance technique. My approach to teaching is technique and principle driven. I believe in proper stroke mechanics and the efficient use of one's body. With these skills players of any age, with any body type, can reach their own maximum tennis potential! I have been playing tennis for over twenty years and I enjoy teaching this wonderful game.

Teaching Style

Modern stances, Semi-Western grip.

Coach Preston is very knowledgeable and patient. I’ve been taking lessons with him for about 3 months. He showed me many different ways to practice during lessons and also by myself. I learn something new every time. highly recommend him!

With Preston, I was able to improve my serve to a degree I had never been able to with any coach before. He took the time to break down my serve and worked on it with me till I saw significant improvement. I would still be taking lessons with him if I had not moved away from the Bay Area.

Preston has a great eye for spotting just what you're missing and explaining it clearly. I've had a long history of bad habits and each lesson he spots one thing I'm doing wrong. He explains it to me, we work on it together and that way we improve my technique little by little. I've only had a few lessons but I feel I'm already making good progress. Definitely recommend!

Coach P provides the perfect mix of push and praise. My daughter’s skill and confidence have blossomed with Coach P. She always looks forward to her lessons with him. He communicates well with parents too. I appreciate that he texts her “homework” to me so that I can see it and forward to my child. Highly recommend Coach P!

Preston is a very nice coach. I was a beginner with zero experience before. After five lessons, I gained solid basic skills and feel more comfortable to rally. I feel growing by leaps and bounces. He is very sharp about identifying the problem and then training accordingly. He is also kind and very patient to guide

I initially set up lessons with Preston for my 8 year old Daughter who had never played. Preston did a fantastic job working with her! He was able to gage what style and lessons were the best fit for her personality. She had a blast and the added value was she was learning to play tennis right before our eyes! We worked with Preston all summer and midway my husband I enjoyed his style and technique that we started taking lessons from him as well! My husband had never played and I played years ago. Preston's range is great in that he was able to understand our goals and work with us at different levels to allow us both to grow and have success playing. I would recommend Preston for any age player and any level of play. He is an excellent coach and we are excited to see him again this upcoming summer!

Preston is the best tennis coach I have ever had. I had twenty lessons with him in the last summer. He was a professional and a very pleasant person to take lessons from. Always in time for the sessions. I have improved my tennis skills so much since my lessons with him. Never had the problems with my strokes since then. His instructions prepared me to become a member of a tennis club. Actually, I have got so many complements on my tennis skills after Preston's coaching.

I should have done this earlier! All of these years of picking up tips on tennis here and there with no solid technique, tons of frustration. Then I met Preston! I have topspin now and my serve has changed and improved as I now understand the technique and logistics of how they are done. My two-handed backhand has improved. He changed my follow through as well as other things. These sometimes subtle changes have made all the difference. I'm thrilled and grateful for lessons with Preston. Plus, he's just a nice guy that has an interest and passion for teaching.

We just finished our summer lessons for our two boys (5 & 8). Preston is FANTASTIC! Our boys loved going to the lessons once a week and learned a ton. He makes the lessons fun and engaging, all the while my boys are learning how to play tennis. There were huge improvements at the end of our lessons. I Highly recommend working with Preston!
