TRAINING/TEACHING HISTORY:  After receiving many requests for lessons and doing tournaments, I decided to teach tennis professionally since I have so much passion for the sport and enjoy working with people of all ages. I obtained my teaching certification from USPTR, Hilton Head, South Carolina. Attending a tennis teaching conference in New York City during the U.S. Open gave me the opportunity to watch and discuss doubles strategy with the Bryan brothers (Mike, Bob and their dad). My exciting experience of playing doubles with Jared Palmer's sister (Hannah) was a blast! In my 24 years at Cross Court I have met hundreds of wonderful people. Not only from the U.S. but also many from other countries.

ALL-TIME FAVORITE PROS:  Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe, in my mind are the best all around players of all time. Winning not only singles but also doubles and mixed doubles on different surfaces and what great commentators!

PERSONAL COMMENTS:  My pride and joy are my two daughters. Both Lisa and Karen played number one singles in high school. Karen being the only girl who made and competed in the State Championship in the history of Spackenkill High School. Both my daughters played in college, Division One, Karen being number one singles. Lisa and I played and made it to the sectionals held at the USTA National Tennis Center of the Mother/Daughter - Equitable Championship. Karen and I also teamed up to win the Cross Court Championship. Since the whole family enjoys competition, Karen teamed up with her dad and played the Father/Daughter National Grass Court Championship in Boston and made a great showing! I am also very proud of my community service, which includes:
