Introduction: I have been coaching tennis for almost 10 years. I have a USPTA certification, and have experience coaching all levels from picking up a racquet for the first time to a college athlete. Tennis has always been a passion of mine, as I enjoy playing for fun and in leagues as well as watching the pro tour. It’s a game I truly love and enjoy coaching. I’m really patient and want to see everyone improve each day to achieve their goals. That can include improving to play in a competitive league, making the team at your school, wanting to play at the college level, or just enjoy playing with your friends. Everyone has their own unique play style, and I like to tailor my concepts to each individual. It’s important to work hard toward your goals, but also more important to have fun along the way.

I have had the privilege of being coached by Brian for some time now, and I can’t express how much I’ve improved under his guidance. Brian is not just a tennis coach but a true mentor on and off the court. His dedication, expertise, and passion for the sport are truly remarkable. They have a unique ability to break down complex techniques into understandable steps and provide constructive feedback. Thanks to Brian, I’ve not only enhanced my tennis skills but also gained confidence in my game. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to take their tennis game to the next level. Thank you, Brian, for your invaluable guidance!

Brian is great with my 14 year old daughter. She decided she wanted to play tennis on the high school team as she was going into her freshman year. She knew nothing about tennis and is not very athletic. He has been very patient with her and adjusted his teaching style and lessons to fit her needs and ability. He is always positive and encouraging. She thinks he is great. I am so glad we chose him for her instructor. I can’t imagine using anyone else now.

Brian has been a fantastic tennis coach. He has helped me learn and refine my serve technique. He's responds very quickly to any texts, and also strings rackets for very low price.
