Meet your coach, Mike
••
Currently serving as a dedicated coach at Westcliff University in Irvine, I am proud to contribute to our team's remarkable success, boasting top national rankings in NAIA for both men and women's tennis. As a player, I've had the honor of participating in ATP Futures events, showcasing my prowess in doubles. My singles ranking reached an impressive #16 Nationally in Men's Open, demonstrating my skill and dedication to the sport. In the Men's 35s category, I further solidified my standing with a consistent top 5 National ranking in doubles. Tennis is my passion, whether on the court as a player or guiding the next generation as a coach.
