30 + yrs playing/teaching experience
Fun mixed with work

I grew up playing club tennis, played 4 years of varsity tennis in high school, was offered college scholarships to play in college, and was an tennis pro at a Swim and Tennis Club in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I understand body mechanics and have experience as an educator. These two attributes, as well as numerous friends who I've helped, make me believe that I can help anyone raise their game to the next level.

I have been playing tennis since I was a little kid. I can show you the basics of hitting the tennis ball. I can show you the strategy on where to hit the tennis ball and position you should be when cover your side of the court.
