About
Along w twin brother, Kirk, we've been teaching tennis in San Juan Capistrano at JSerra Catholic High School for 14 years: youth, high schoolers, and adults.
We provide fun, safe environment to learn the lifetime sport of tennis in the beautiful town of San Juan Capistrano, in south Orange County.
USPTA approved, we have 60+ years of combined teaching experience between us. Some of our students played professional tennis, some are college coaches, many earned scholarships, but most just had a lot of fun learning and improving.
All ages and abilities welcome: private lessons, semi-private, cardio tennis, group clinics and camps year round, "carpool" tennis Tuesdays for moms and dads.

How did you get started teaching?
Actually started from scratch and coached an age group swim team while playing football and tennis in high school and college. Got an opportunity to train and work under the famous coach Vic Braden, who used a lot of science in his instruction, but taught us how to make biomechanics, physics and geometry useful and FUN on a tennis court. Branched off on my own as first profressional at Ridgeline Country Club in eastern foothills of Orange County.
What types of students have you worked with?
Beginners through advanced - college scholarships. Brother Kirk has developed some pro players, who have gone on to careers in and out of tennis, including current college coaches.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
After almost a year of being off the courts, having our KO's T3Tennis youngsters back on the courts - wearing their masks when asked and social distancing as required....a season to remember!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Check their credentials and references. Commit to ONE lesson for evaluation before signing up for a block or pre-paid group of lessons. Choose a coach who gives you tools and feedback that will help you evaluate your own game and improve when you are hitting and practicing without them!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Goals: short term, middle and long. How much time, effort and money are they willing to allocate to attaining their goals.
