About
I teach the classic strokes that are super-easy to learn and give you incredible power and consistency. I re-engineered Jimmy Connors forehand so that it is extremely consistent and powerful with a low flight trajectory to give you instant winning shots at the first lesson! Guaranteed! Or the next lesson is Free! No other instructor will guarantee instant results and I've been teaching 45 years now so I've seen it all!
I very much enjoy teaching beginners because I'm the highest trained flat-stroke instructor in the country and my players continue to come back every season for years. One 9 year old girl just finished her 160th lesson in a row and still loves to play and learn and win. All the children gain incredible confidence and that's the greatest gift you can give a child. I re-engineered the flat power-stroke forehand taught to me by Gloria Connors who is the Mother of tennis legend Jimmy Connors. Jimmy is currently the number one player in tennis history with 109 ATP and the most popular player in the open era. Let me teach you too how to hit the ball inches over the net at extreme velocity in well under an hour. I teach year round 7 days a week. Please contact me anytime! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Teaching textbook basics on the forehand and backhand to master these essential strokes in just the first lesson. Many of my players come back year after year and start as young as just 2 years of age. I teach simple powerful strokes for beginners through advanced players and offer special pricing for new and loyal long-term students.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching powerful flat strokes for over 45 years and have taught multiple children as young as the age of 2 who are all still playing. I was trained privately by Gloria Connors who's son Jimmy still holds the world record of 109 ATP titles. I can teach you to play like him. No need to shop any other instructors. I also have experience teaching special needs children. Call now for special seasonal-package pricing for all students! I have a BA in Communications from St. Louis University and can communicate effectively with children adults and players from foreign countries as my family is from Europe. >
