(Miami) My mission is to get my adult students performing with confidence and consistency independent of my teaching as quickly as possible. My teaching methodology is a hybrid philosophy blending technical expertise with on court fitness and conditioning inspiring student self-discovery. I utilize a lot of "play-based" games and drills during our group lessons to accelerate the learning curve so players can apply what they learned when they play matches outside of the lesson experience.

I moved to the Miami from NYC in March 2008 and now live in Coral Gables. I play a lot of "Men's 40's" tennis tournaments throughout the year to keep my competitive juices flowing. You can find me on weekdays from 10-7pm (these are approximate hours!) at my office in Midtown Miami managing and marketing our tennis lesson services in both NYC and Miami.
