"After taking some lessons with Mark, I’m better ready to think about what I should do next instead of just swing. If you can get in to a drill or group lesson with Mark, you’ll learn even more. Whether you’re a tennis player looking to diversify or a pball player looking to improve, Mark’s lessons meet you where you are and are a good value. -Alice Daood

From the shores of Lake Michigan to the sandy beaches of Florida, I've been riding the waves since my teenage years, learning the art of surfing from my talented cousins. Bringing the surf culture to the Great Lakes, I've witnessed a surge in interest, with more people taking to the waters year-round, even in winter's chill. As a passionate advocate for surfing, I've shared my knowledge with countless individuals, from kids to adults, helping them experience the thrill of catching a wave. Additionally, I volunteered at Third Coast Rising, a nonprofit providing free therapy to veterans and first responders through surfing. Together, we're not just riding waves; we're making waves of positive change in our community.

"Game-Changer Inside 50 Yards!  If you want to shave strokes off your scorecard, you need to work with Daniel. He is an exceptional golf instructor with a knack for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, actionable feels.  Before working with him, my short game inside 50 yards was costing me countless shots. Daniel completely revolutionized my approach by introducing me to the bump-and-run. He adjusted my setup—getting my weight forward and narrowing my stance—and taught me how to read the green to pick the perfect landing spot rather than just aiming for the pin.  Thanks to his clear cues and patience, I’ve replaced high-risk, stressful flop shots with a dependable, controlled bump-and-run. My contact is cleaner, my distance control is dialed in, and my scoring inside 50 yards has drastically improved. If you want to transform your short game, Daniel is your guy!

"Thanks for all the help with introduction to Pickleball.

My love for Pickleball began in 2011, during a time when lessons were scarce. Upon moving to the west side of Michigan, I found coaches who helped me correct numerous bad habits. After extensive lessons and attending many camps, I began sharing my knowledge with others. I started formally giving lessons in 2017 and became a PPR certified coach in 2019.

With a racket in hand since age 8, I've journeyed through the world of ping pong, tennis, and pickleball with a passion for competition and coaching. From multiple ping pong tournament victories to competing at the Michigan Division 1 High School Varsity level in tennis, my dedication to racket sports runs deep.
