About me
My name is Coach Mike and I'm from Long Beach, CA. I moved to Charlotte, NC in 2005 and began playing tennis at the age of 13. I played on the University of North Carolina Club Team and discovered my passion for teaching tennis and fitness to others. I taught tennis through college and ran several tennis programs in Charlotte, Concord and Huntersville. I earned my B.S. in Computer Science and was a software engineer for 6 years while occasionally coaching tennis. I moved back to the west coast in January of 2019 and look to continue spreading my knowledge of tennis to those looking to learn. I look forward to meeting you!
”Mike is an awesome coach! I started training tennis with him since late May, and I can’t believe how much my tennis skill has been improved - from knowing nothing about tennis, to be able play rally and match with some 3.0 player in 3 months! He is so knowledgeable about tennis, and really focus on the action detail. On the meanwhile, he is patient so i never feel pressured.Highly recommend! Don’t hesitate to signup a lesson with him!”

”I started off as a beginner when I first started getting coaching from Mike. I can honestly say that I have improved in the last year and a half. He has improved many aspects of my game. What I really like is during my lessons, he focuses on preparedness and footwork which has been super key to my improvement. He has increased my confidence to play matches. I would recommend Mike to anyone wanting to learn to play tennis or just improve. He is experienced and respectful in his teaching methods!”

”I had the pleasure of working with Mike as my tennis coach for the past couple of years, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best coaches out there. Not only is Mike is incredibly knowledgeable about the sport of tennis, but he also has a great ability to communicate that knowledge in a way that is easy to understand and apply on the court. Every lesson with Mike is infused with energy and enthusiasm, which makes the experience both enjoyable and motivating. Mike has a gift for instilling that same passion in his/her students, which has undoubtedly contributed to the improvement of my game.”
