BASELINE TENNIS ACADEMY TENNIS PROFESSIONALS

I believe that every player learns uniquely, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mastering the game. I focus on personalized coaching tailored to each player's style, strengths, and goals. By embracing individuality over chasing the 'perfect swing,' I empower players to achieve the greatest growth in the shortest amount of time, fostering confidence and a deeper love for tennis.

I began playing tennis at the age of 7 and competed on back-to-back high school state championship teams in 1983 and 1984. As a junior, I honed my skills at the prestigious Harry Hopman Academy (now located at Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa, FL) and the NIKE-sponsored tennis academy at Yale University in New Haven, CT.

As an adult player, I have continued to achieve success, competing on five Indiana state championship USTA teams, four Midwest championship teams, and earning two runner-up finishes at USTA Nationals. Currently, I actively compete on multiple USTA teams and participate in various leagues.
