Throughout my career in tennis, I have had a single goal in mind--that is to help to impart a deep passion for the game that is truly one of life's greatest sports. Whether it is at clubs, clinics, camps, or coaching, I have brought my years of tennis experience to thousands of players, students, other instructors, and organizations.
Having started playing tennis at age 6, my tennis life has taken me through the sectional and national junior tennis circuit, 4 years of Division I tennis at U.C. Berkeley, private instruction, managing clubs and shops, organizing corporate events, and directing tennis programs around the United States.
A few years ago I began to look for opportunities to become involved more permanently at a club, and started a search for a Director, Assistant Director, or Head Pro position. I contacted Karen Shin, tennis director at Sherwood Country Club, and was hired in 2019. It was immediately a great fit for me and I was named Head Pro at Sherwood in December of 2020.
