30 Years Coaching Experience, Versatile, Positive Teaching Style

I am a USPTA Elite Professional with over 25 years of teaching experience. I have served as Director of Tennis for the Town of Greenwich, Silver Gull and Breezy Point Beach Clubs, Director of Junior Tennis at Caswell Tennis Center, and as the Head Pro/Junior Tennis Director at Dripping Springs Racquet Club. I am certified in the Bailey Footwork Method and completed an intensive in tennis biomechanics with Master Professional James Shaughnessy. I also am the creator of the Gravity Tennis method, a fluid, rhythmic, and low-impact approach to the game of tennis that has proven especially helpful to both those hitting a performance plateau, as well as those who struggle with chronic injuries. I teach a fluid, rhythmic, and low-impact approach to the game I call “Gravity Tennis” that has proven especially helpful to those struggling with chronic injuries. My lessons involve a combination of hitting Spanish-style (hand) and racket feeding, and drill progressions.

About Me:

I am a USPTA Elite Professional with over 25 years of teaching experience.

How I can help you improve your game:

I am certified in the Bailey Footwork Method and completed an intensive in tennis biomechanics with Master Professional James Shaughnessy. I also am the creator of the Gravity Tennis method, a fluid, rhythmic, and low-impact approach to the game of tennis that has proven especially helpful to both those hitting a performance plateau, as well as those who struggle with chronic injuries.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

I first ask you what you hope to work on, and then we begin with a short, shot-specific warmup. We then do a selection/combination of hitting Spanish-style (hand) and racket feeding, drill, hitting, and point play progressions.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I have served as Director of Tennis for the Town of Greenwich, Silver Gull and Breezy Point Beach Clubs, Director of Junior Tennis at Caswell Tennis Center, and as the Head Pro/Junior Tennis Director at Dripping Springs Racquet Club.

Best coach I ever had:

James Shaughnessy at Tucker Tennis Academy.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

My style is affable, laid back, supportive, and enthusiastic, I shoot to inspire love of the game, and genuinely believe all people are capable of being beautiful tennis players!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.

Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.

Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!

We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.

Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.

Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.

  • Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.

  • Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.

  • Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.

  • Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
