With two decades of competitive tennis under my belt, I've spent the last 10 years imparting the essentials of the game to enthusiasts in our local community. My teaching methods have been greatly influenced by my 30-year tenure as a martial arts instructor, bringing a unique perspective to my tennis coaching. This combined experience has honed my ability to convey techniques effectively, ensuring that students not only learn the basics but also appreciate the discipline and dedication behind every stroke.

I received my Masters Degree during 2025 in Sport Performance and Psychology. Currently I am coaching both travel baseball, Junior Varsity High school baseball as well as hitting lessons.
"Hi Derek! He did really good. He got two walks and 1 triple. He did great today ! Home run and a double .
Derek
I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.

My goal is simple: to share my enthusiasm for the sport and instill proper techniques, guiding players to their fullest potential on the Pickleball court.
