About

USPTA Certified coach with 12 years experience. I coach all ages and skill levels, from first time playing to the collegiate level. Everyone has their own unique play style, and I like to tailor my concepts to each individual. My style covers all areas of the game from the technical side of helping with swing development, as well as the physical side of having the proper movements and body mechanics. I am also a certified Personal Trainer and like to apply my knowledge to help improve ways to become a better athlete for players, as the modern game has become more physically demanding. I do have a patient approach to be able to help all players improve each day to achieve their goals, being to improve to play in a competitive league/tournament, making the team at your school, wanting to play at the college level, or just enjoy playing with your friends. I have always had a strong interest and great passion for being a tennis coach. I am dedicated to always learn about the game and improve my abilities to help maximize the potential in all of my players.

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.
