I grew up playing tennis here in Hamilton. Once High School ended I left for Texas on a work/play scheme at the John Newcombe tennis Academy in Texas. While at the Academy I received a bunch of scholarship offers and decided to play at Division One University of Texas Pan American. While at Playing at university I was a multiple time Southland conference player of the week, and was 2nd team all conference doubles multiple times.
After University I stayed in the states and worked for Cliff Drysdale tennis, and progressed from a camp coach to the head adult pro at Stratton Mountain (#1 tennis resort in the USA), and Lagorce Country club.
I came home and was the head coach at Lugton park for 2 seasons before the chance to travel and work came again. This time going to Canada to coach at the Atlantic Tennis Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Helping build a successful junior academy, and booming adult tennis programmes in the 6 years.
Now back home in Hamilton, I am keen to work with all levels of players and hope to see the game of tennis grow in the Waikato.
