About Me
I played Division I college tennis at St John's University, competed professionally and have made a living teaching full-time for the past 20 years. You'll get three perspectives from me: that of the student, player and coach. I'm paying this gift forward and it has been a privilege to share it with the world.
Teaching Style
My playing background helps me train high performance players that go on to play high school and college tennis. I teach kids and adults of all ages and levels who play for health and recreational reasons. Each situation requires a different approach. I meet students where they are and evaluate goals, and together we come up with a game plan for success. I only work with those that want to be inspired and are open and committed to having fun and improving.
