Neil - Serious Adult Player & USTA League Champion
Level: Expert•Lessons taken: 50
“I started out as a 5 UTR/3.0 player before I met Garrett. I’m know almost a 10 UTR and comfortably beating everyone in my leagues and have started entering into my first UTR/Open Division tournaments. Garrett’s expertise is second to none and he understands every aspect of the game, whether it’s footwork, body control, physical conditioning, technique, strategy, and nutrition”

“Garrett has a high amount of skill and tennis knowledge. He has helped my son reach a new level, and ultimately be recruited to a great D1 Institution. I highly recommend anyone, of all levels, to interact with Garrett. He will inspire your child, in many ways, due to his vast personal experience”
Beth - USTA 4.5 - 50+ Singles Champion
Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 30
“Garrett has been tremendous in developing my game. Not only is he extremely intelligent, he understands how to make tennis fun - even for my age group. He has helped me win in my singles/doubles league. I am extremely satisfied and so sad he has moved to a new location. Whoever is able to experience his tennis passion, is extraordinarily lucky”
Tige - Club Player
Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 20
“Garrett possesses high amounts of tennis knowledge and he helped me improve so I could take down all my buddies at my club. Not only would he run me ragged without breaking a sweat, he always did it with a smile on his face and made it about how I could improve. For those looking to get better, but who may be scared of Garrett’s credentials, he does a tremendous job of making his clients feel heard and making his lessons very fun”
Deborah - Mother of a High School Tennis Player
Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 20
“I met Garrett when he was teaching another student. My son had never picked up a racquet. Not only was Garrett able to teach my son all the basics of tennis, we put him in his first tournament and he nearly won! My son is now trying out for the Varsity High School team and has had so much fun during his lessons with Garrett. Highly recommend”
