Since I was nine years old, tennis has been my passion and my life's journey. Competing as a junior and in regional and national men's tournaments honed my skills, culminating in my ranking as the top junior player in Washington DC at 17 and 18 years old. Those formative years on the court shaped me into the player and person I am today, driven by a love for the game and a commitment to excellence.

I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.

In that time, I have learned how to connect and effectively coach children and young adults of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds.

My main goal is to improve on-field success while creating a fun and supportive learning environment. Everyone has dreams, it’s my job to help turn them into reality.
"“In my freshman year of high school, I was a utility player on the junior varsity team. In my sophomore year, I was the starting right fielder on the varsity team. Coach Peter’s drills for tracking fly balls helped me become the best defensive outfielder on my team.”
