Bio: I discovered tennis early in life starting playing around age 10 and over the next 30 years it naturally became an innate passion. As a youth and young adult I spent my summers at Newcombe as a camp counselor-pro. Then after HS I joined the UTSA mens singles team. I choose a career and have spent the last 17 years in Real Estate / Sales Management. I have been playing club tennis on and off and due to my caring nature this also means I've been coaching as well. WEITHER ITS Dropping SOME WEIGHT, PREPARING FOR A TOURNAMENT OR JUST AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SPORT I GUARANTEE YOU WILL EXCEED YOUR GOALS. I love people, helping and the satisfaction that comes with watching someone improve their game so more often then not I was asked to join the pro staff to help players of all ages. I will work with anyone 10-65 years of age pending a letter from a doctor clearing individuals over 55. THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY,
