I built my surfing foundation through Junior Lifeguards, wrestling, 24hr ocean/cliff rescue and time with shredder friends. With 33 years of dedicated practice, I now coach surfers of all levels, sharing techniques, insights, challenges and unique awareness the surf breaks demand. I've also used CAD to design next-gen surfboard fins. These airfoil-based, winged fins generate more thrust and lift, making surfing easier and more controlled for beginners while unlocking radical lines for experts.
"I've been surfing for a long time, but I love how Todd surfs and decided I'd ask him to try some coaching with me. He was able to point out some things about what board I may rather surf, and he ended up being right! He also shared with me a number of unique navigation and wave-tracking methods that I find fascinating and very useful.

I'm a defensive minded coach who's keen on teaching the game within the game. Teaching players the fundamentals while also developing their mental toughness.

With over 28 years of soccer experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game to every team I coach. I played competitively at Miramonte High School and have spent my life immersed in youth soccer—as both a player and a dedicated coach. My coaching philosophy centers around building strong fundamentals, fostering teamwork, and helping players develop confidence both on and off the field. Whether working with beginners or experienced players, I focus on creating a positive, disciplined, and high-energy environment where young athletes can grow and thrive. I don’t just coach the game—I build players who love it, live it, and leave it all on the field.
"Francesco’s coaching helped me step up as a leader in ways I never expected. He showed me how to take responsibility, motivate others, and lead by example. Because of him, I’m more confident guiding my team and handling challenges both during games and in everyday life.

Hi! My name is Jackson Levin, and I am a trumpet instructor and brass specialist. Specializing in trumpet performance and pedagogy, I earned my bachelor's degree in music performance from the Herb Alpert School of Music at UCLA. I've played trumpet for over 18 years and have studied with lauded trumpet players, including Jens Lindemann, Thomas Hooten, Jennifer Marotta, and Adam Luftman. As a performer, I've played with the UCLA Philharmonia, Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble, and Early Music Ensemble. I am currently a participating member of the Stanford Medicine Orchestra and have performed in various pit orchestras for many student-led musical productions, including Fiddler on the Roof, Assassins, Sweeney Todd, and Cinderella (to name a few). I was the lead trumpet player in a jazz septet from 2008-2012, and currently play in a jazz quartet alongside three other Bay Area Musicians: Patrick Talesfore, Jr., Jesus Ramos, and Nima Hafezieh. Overall, I have a strong background in classical and jazz performance. As a music educator, I firmly believe in the importance of offering gentle and supportive guidance to my students while working collaboratively through difficult musical concepts and techniques. By emphasizing the importance of patience and perseverance, I help students analyze difficult musical passages and phrases using a measure-by-measure approach. I believe that both attention to detail and freedom of creative expression can instill a deep understanding and lifelong passion for music that inspires students to derive both joy and curiosity in their practice and performance.

"After my lesson with Ashkaan, I’d say I definitely saw some useful tips, especially around my putting approach. Though I still need to work on consistency, I appreciate the way the lesson focused on my specific issues. I’m hopeful I can build on what I learned soon. If you’re looking for pretty practical advice grounded in real golf situations, Ashkaan's worth considering.

I kicked off my musical journey at 7 with classical piano lessons, later adding classical voice and diving into the guitar world at 14.

Regularly performing, I'm also passionate about helping others record and produce their music. Let's explore your musical world together!
For over 12 years, I've cultivated musical talent in trumpet performance. My approach blends time-tested methods with innovative techniques, ensuring a rewarding and enjoyable journey for every student. I aim to explain topics in a way that each individual understands.
