About
I am a personable guy who has a devoted passion for tennis. I enjoy helping players reach their tennis related goals. I am a largely self taught player so I can relate to the amount of work it takes to become a better player.
I have always enjoyed sharing the knowledge that I have obtained over the course of becoming better and particular hobby or job.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find the instructor that is the best abke to explain what you're wanting to learn. Not everyone learns the same way and you either have to be adaptable as a teacher/coach or you need to only take students that work best with your teaching style.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I feel that everyone needs to assess and have realistic expectations as to what they want to get out of taking tennis lessons.
