I began playing tennis at the age of 7 in Colombia, often rallying with adults in tournaments since events were based on level rather than age. This experience taught me to embrace the underdog role in my early years. Continuing a family tradition, I started teaching tennis to family members, specifically my son. I encouraged him to join the varsity team and taught him cardio tennis, agility, and footwork. Watching him continue his tennis journey has been incredibly satisfying. With an analytical background and a master's in instructional technology, I bring a unique perspective and a strong foundation for teaching others.
"The lesson was quite helpful, especially with the focus on improving serve consistency, which I’ve struggled with before. Diego’s suggestions were practical and relevant, and I still feel like I’m gaining more confidence on court, though I think a bit more emphasis on footwork could help me improve even further. If you’re interested in steady progress, it’s worth giving Diego a shot.

Discovering the guitar later in life ignited a passion for music that has only grown stronger with time. From taking my first guitar lesson at the age of 44 to co-founding a Bluegrass/Americana band and writing original music, my musical journey has been one of continuous growth and exploration. Since 2018, I've had the privilege of serving as a volunteer instructor for the Cincinnati, Ohio Chapter of Guitars 4 Vets, where I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of music. Alongside my own musical pursuits, I've expanded my skills by delving into the bass guitar and music theory. As a dedicated instructor, I find immense joy in helping adults of all ages unlock their musical potential and cultivate a lifelong love for playing the guitar, one song at a time.
"Prior to meeting Pat for my first lesson with him, I was anxious, nervous, and looking for every excuse not to go. Some of this stemmed from inexperience on the guitar, the rest coming from fear of getting out of my comfort zone in a new environment. Somehow, I managed to show up. All of my “fears” were quickly washed away within moments of starting our first lesson. His enthusiasm and warm, positive attitude really helped me enjoy our lessons and be able to relax while learning. An added bonus, which is priceless to me, is that my son and I have been able to create a deeper bond through learning and playing music. No matter the skill level or background, anyone can be inspired and learn something from him. Thanks Pat!
