About

I have over 40 years of teaching experience as a USPTA - RSPA Certified tennis professional working with adults, juniors and accomplished Touring Pro's. I was mentored by Hall of Famer Pancho Segura and Pancho Gonzales from the age of 6 years old. Pancho Segura was considered by his piers to be the greatest tactician and technical instructor to ever play and coach the game of tennis. He was fondly referred to as the "Coaches Coach". Tennis has been a life long passion of mine. I've worked with many notable juniors who went on to become top 10 touring pros. I love seeing students faces light up after fully comprehending and correcting a technical or tactical error and then being able to apply the correction in match play. The greatest thing about my work is watching my young pupils mature as tennis players and grounded young adults. A parent giving their children tennis lessons is a gift that pays dividends their entire life. It opens doors everywhere they go and is an important tool in developing self confidence.

Words cannot describe how good of a tennis coach Gary is! Working with Gary not only helped me to become a better tennis player but he also helped me grow in my love for the sport. After teaching me and getting me to master all of the core shots you need in tennis as well as some fun trick shots, he has coached me in tactics and strategy. He’s made me a really smart player and I will forever be grateful! He’s also made me pretty intimidating to my opponents when they see my serve and my inside out forehand, my favorite shot of all time. When I compete in my High School tennis matches, I always get comments on my form and the flow of my shots and I give all the credit to Gary. Gary has also trained me and helped me develop my endurance through many different drills which are very fun and challenging. I absolutely love working with Gary and I’m beyond blessed to have gotten to learn from him for the past 7 years and still more to come. He is truly the best tennis coach I have ever had.

Our daughter has been seeing Gary for about two years now. Gary has been the most outstanding coach and mentor to the kids (teenagers). Not only has he taught them how to play the game of tennis but also has engrained in them the importance of a healthy lifestyle physically and mentally. I can’t say enough great things about Gary. I know this will be a lifelong sport for our daughter. We are very grateful to have met Gary and that he is such a positive influence on our daughter.
