About
I am currently the director of tennis and head pro at The Eureka Indoor Tennis Club. I have also worked at McCarren Tennis Center, Bumblebee Tennis, and Super Star Tennis as staff pros in New York City and Brooklyn. I always want students to be challenged while working with me so they don’t get bored or feel like they’re too good for the material being taught but I also incorporate fun and laughter into our time together so it’s doesn’t feel like a boot camp setting (unless you’re looking for that).
Sharing my knowledge of tennis with others is my greatest joy. I’m a die hard fan of the sport, whether I’m watching it, teaching it, or playing it, it’s what I want to do. I travel with my racquets around the world always looking for new opportunities. It’s a huge thrill for me when a student of mine can see and feel their progression.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to ask the student or students about their tennis backgrounds and then goals they have. Whether it’s just to have fun and get exercise or if it’s to become a high quality player I enjoy every answer. I then feed a few balls to do a quick assessment of each student and go from there. Everyone learns differently and I’m well aware of that and adapt accordingly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been teaching tennis for 10+ years and I was certified by the USPTA as a professional in 2011. For the past 5 years I’ve been head pro at an indoor/outdoor tennis club in Northern California where I taught a wide range of students in private/semi private/ group lessons, and adult/junior clinics and classes.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
The current rates for lessons are $55/hr or $200 for a package of 4 hours of lessons.
How did you get started teaching?
I started playing tennis at a very young age. So I’ve always had love for it since the time I started. I wanted to share my passion with others and help grow the wonderful game so right out of highschool I started teaching. It was more part time throughout college and then once I graduated, I continued with it more full time and haven’t stopped since.
