About
ATGA has been in the valley for 27 years. I'm a former Division 1 College coach at Boise State University & now coach the Red Mountain High School Team. We specialize in developing players of any age or ability. I'm the owner & Director of ATGA.
Being able to show my clients the complete game is what I'm best at & I still enjoy the smile on faces when my clients feel effortless power. When I started ATGA 27 years ago after my college coaching experience at Boise State University, I set out to get as much knowledge as possible so I could be the best & most educated Tennis Professional around. I learned from so many great pro's & Individuals. I was definitely blessed!
So now all of us at ATGA teach Technical, Tactical, Physical & Psychological Tennis Development. We teach all aspects of the Tennis Game...join me to experience the difference🎾🏅🏆👍

I'm certified by the USPTA as an Elite Tennis Professional. I have taught at the college level at Boise State University, the High School Level at Red Mountain High School plus I own and direct the Arizona Tennis and Golf Academy. We teach many snowbird 55+ players in Mesa, Arizona.
