"Great coach - Drew was great with our kids’ first lesson!

Hi, I'm Bryan! I've been golfing since I was 8/9 years old. I’ve played junior golf and high school golf. I enjoy understanding and breaking down the swing mechanics. My aim is to help you develop a consistent swing and enjoy the game more. I want to teach you how to create habits that will lower your scores and eventually lower your handicap. I can put you on a launch monitor during the lessons and I will cover your range balls. If you are intermediate or advanced, we can work for advanced skills. Let's work together to improve your skills on the course!

"Bryan's lesson was quite helpful, especially since he made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. She was quite relaxed and seemed eager to keep practicing. Though we still need to work on her swing and stand, her comfort level definitely improved. I think with consistent effort, we can build on this foundation. Still, I appreciate the approachable way Bryan delivers feedback, making it easier to focus on small adjustments. If you're looking for a steady, straightforward lesson that prioritizes comfort and progress, Bryan is worth considering.

From match point to practice drills, I bring thoughtful energy to every lesson. I am a dedicated tennis coach with many years of teaching experience, combining technical precision, tactical insight, and patient instruction to help players reach their goals while enjoying the game.

Tennis has been my life for 30 years — as a player, a college competitor, and now as a coach who’s put in over 345 lessons helping students actually improve. My game blends Federer-style touch and feel on the one-handed backhand with the heavy, modern topspin you see from players like Alcaraz and Sinner — and that’s exactly what I bring to your lessons, whether you’re building your fundamentals or refining a competitive game. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter lessons. Every session is built around your goals, your level, and what’s actually holding your game back — with the technology and tools (video analysis, ball machine, real match-play strategy) to back it up. Beyond the court, you’re joining a tennis community: connect with fellow students, ask me questions directly, work through structured courses at your own pace, and get access to local clinics and events. My goal is simple — help you fall in love with this game while getting genuinely better at it.
