About
My passion for tennis started at a young age as a child around 10 years old in clinics and lessons. As my initial interest grew I began playing for my high school team and club tennis team in college. Now at 32 with 22 years of tennis playing experience, I compete in local Tampa 4.5 leagues.
I pride myself on bringing a spritely, light-hearted attitude to the court while enjoying nothing more than helping players see real improvement over time. Seeing people's joy and improvement is the goal behind every lesson I teach. I am now fortunate enough to share the joy of personal development within tennis through coaching. It is a true gift to get the opportunity and pleasure of watching others grow.
Honorable mentions include conversational Mandarin Chinese proficiency (HSK4) and past fluency in German. Off the court, I hold an MBA and a degree in Computer Science, and have spent over 10 years working as a software engineer, product manager, and project manager.
