A San Antonio native, Adrian graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in 1990 and went on to play NCAA Division I tennis at Texas State University under Head Coach Neal Kinlund. He was the Bobcats' #1 singles player, earning the T-Association Award for his achievements as a student-athlete. In his senior year, he captured several singles titles, fueling his post-college aspirations. From 1995 to 1997, he competed on the Pro Satellite Tour while also pursuing his Master’s and Teaching Certification at Texas State. He later became a Tennis Director at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch, coaching top national and Texas juniors, many of whom have gone on to earn college scholarships. With over 30 years of teaching and 33 years of competitive experience, Adrian holds the record for the longest #1 Men’s Open Singles ranking in Texas from 2002 to 2017. He has won every Open-level USTA tournament in Texas and achieved top national rankings in singles in 2001 and 2002. Adrian is deeply committed to giving back to the San Antonio community, especially to disadvantaged kids. He has introduced hundreds of children to tennis through programs like the Tennis-on-Wheels initiative and the San Antonio Tennis Academy. His teaching expertise lies in technical stroke production, sports psychology, and physical fitness. As a player-coach, Adrian emphasizes hard work as the key to success. He has also established a philosophy called “Six Sigma” at the Academy, which represents a relentless pursuit of near perfection—a standard that shapes every aspect of training and performance.
