Hi welcome to my bio! I come from a very sport-centric family and have been playing tennis since the age of six at various levels. With over 30 years of tennis experience as a former college player and coach since 2007 I bring expertise in developing your technical skills, mentality, and fitness. One of my strengths is incorporating comprehensive and scientific-based nutrition advice to optimize your performance on court. Above all else my goal is to make tennis fun and competitive while fostering a love for the sport. See you on court!
With two decades on the court, I bring both seasoned expertise and an infectious enthusiasm to tennis instruction. My experience as an experienced player allows me to offer strategic insights and skill refinement, fostering a supportive environment for growth. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your personal best, whatever your level!
I teach all levels and all ages (from beginners to advanced players) . 45 years of coaching experience certified thru many world renowned organizations like the USPTA as elite pro, ITF , USNTA I love to simplify learning Tennis by focusing on simplifying the techniques of the game.
"Great coach, always goes very in depth on concepts, patient, and funny.
I bring a strategic eye and engaging enthusiasm to every court, blending technical precision with a personable, professional coaching style. With 20 years teaching and a background as an Experienced Player, I specialize in stroke development, tactical insight and building confident, resilient athletes.
I was a four-year varsity player at Oberlin College and currently work in economic consulting. I am also currently building a post-match feedback platform for competitive players (we are currently demoing the product for a select group of players). Outside of tennis, I completed a 2,800 mile walk across America a few years ago and recently completed an Ironman. I value discipline, consistency, and long-term development, and I enjoy working with players who want to improve and are willing to put in the work.
"My 12-year old son has been taking lessons with James and it’s been a really positive experience. James is very encouraging but also keeps him focused and working hard. My son looks forward to the lessons each work and has been doing better in his tournaments recently.
