About the coach

I help players win more matches and have fun doing it.

Over the last 20 years, my coaching journey has taken me across both the U.S. and New Zealand, with major leadership roles in both countries. From 2015 to 2024, I co-founded and directed New Zealand’s largest and most successful tennis academy. Before moving to NZ—and again briefly in 2024—I held a range of positions in the US, including Director of Tennis (Tucker Tennis Academy), Director of 12U Player Development (LTP Tennis Academy), and Director of High Performance (USCTDP, Inc). I’ve also worked at the collegiate level as both a Head and Assistant Coach.

Through these positions I have coached players to 40+ singles / doubles national championships, numerous #1 national rankings, and 50+ players to college tennis, including 11 to Major D1 teams. My favourite part of coaching is trying to solve issues that get in the way of players maximising their potential. After doing this in person for so many years it has become a bit like clockwork. I am ready for a new challenge.

My next goal is to help YOU maximise your potential through online coaching. I promise you, I don't do anything half ass and if I take you on as a client I will expect the same level of commitment as I do from the players I coach in person. My coaching career has been built on one guiding principle, to leave no stone unturned in to ensure everyone student of mine continues to improve while still loving the sport.
