Tennis has been a lifelong love, with my journey extending to Lafayette College where I was a four-year starter in both doubles and singles. My teaching journey began in high school when I started instructing at local clubs and working as a counselor at tennis camps. Witnessing the transformation and improvement in other players' games is something I find incredibly rewarding. I'm here to help you take your tennis skills to the next level and share in your success on the court.

"I had been shooting for a while but felt like I hit a wall. Cristian helped me tighten up my workflow, shoot with more intention, and really refine my style. His critiques are honest but motivating, and the way he explains things just clicks. I’ve grown more in a few weeks than I did in the last year on my own.

Maybe you’ve never tried to write lyrics, or maybe you’ve written dozens of songs but have never felt like the lyrics really captured what you wanted to say. Don’t worry, I get it- and I can help you, as it has been my job to teach people how to write effectively (first as a writing tutor and now as a songwriting coach) for close to 10 years. In addition, as a professional recording artist, I know what makes a song “click,” and I can offer personalized guidance to unlock your lyrical potential. Why not give it a try?
