I cannot remember a time in my life when I was not swinging a tennis racket. A native Philadelphian, I played tennis at Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis Center from elementary school through high school. I played on the men's tennis team at Bethune Cookman College, now University.

I love playing tennis but what brings me the most joy is coaching tennis. Experiencing a child grow from not being able to hold a tennis racket properly to an advanced competitive player is extremely rewarding. I have coached college tennis, senior adults as well as young children. Tennis, a life-long sport, builds confidence, enhances strategic thinking, good sportsmanship and it is my hope to share my love for the game with children and adults alike.
