My career includes an undefeated senior year and participating in the USTPA.

My passion lies in teaching, and I look forward to inspiring more students in the game of tennis.

"I loved focusing on strategy and eye ball coordination during the lesson with Craig. His approach really helped me understand the game better and improve my skills. If you want to sharpen your pickleball strategy and placement, Craig’s lessons are definitely worth trying. It was a fun and engaging experience that I recommend to other players looking to up their game. 😊
