About

Professional experience. Personal coaching.

I spent ten years competing as a professional tennis player before bringing that experience to coaching full-time. During my career, I trained at leading tennis academies and practiced alongside players ranked among the top five in the world. That experience shaped how I approach the game: with attention to detail, purposeful practice, and a clear understanding of what it takes to improve.

Based in Fort Lauderdale, I coach players throughout South Florida, from Jupiter to Miami. I work with all levels, from players picking up a racquet for the first time to experienced competitors and touring professionals. My goal is to help each player understand their game, develop the skills that matter most, and become more confident on court.

  • #1 in the U.S.ITF junior ranking — and #12 in the world
  • All four SlamsPlayed every junior Grand Slam
  • Top 600sATP career-high ranking, in both singles and doubles
  • National championWon an NCAA team title at USC

Every player has different goals and areas to improve. Sessions are tailored to the individual, with a focus on building skills that translate into better tennis:

01

Start with your goals

We start by identifying what you want to improve, whether that's a specific shot, consistency, movement, strategy, or match confidence. From there, I shape the session around your priorities and the areas that will make the biggest difference to your game.

02

Build the skills

We work through the technical and tactical details behind those goals, using focused drills and repetition to develop better technique, timing, and shot selection. The emphasis is on understanding the adjustment and making it reliable—not just getting it right once.

03

Take it into match play

We bring the work into live-ball drills and point play so you can apply it in realistic situations. The goal is to make improvements you can trust when it matters during a match.

Getting started is simple.

Getting started is easy. Reach out by text and we can find a time and location for your first lesson.

Let me know where you usually play, your experience level, and what you'd like to work on. If you're not sure where to start, that's no problem—we can assess your game during the first session and identify the best areas to focus on.
