Tennis has Always Been My passion

Tennis captured me as a junior in California watching Mom and Dad play. I wanted to play so began learning by hitting against a concrete wall at local courts in Fresno California during the Hay Days in the 70s. Later my Junior tennis began in the Pacifiq NW where I played junior club team tennis, middle scool and high school before graduating to college tennis in Bellevue Wa. My love of the game lead me to a top tennis academy in Tyler Tx where I trained for 2 years and learned everything you could possibily learn about the game, industry, coaching, bio-mechanics and much much more.

Very equipped with advanced training, my career blessed me with travel and opportunities to coach worldwide

“Kirk was a fantastic instructor! We had three generations taking lessons — a 7 yr old, 2 adults, and 2 elderly folks, and he was able to seamlessly toggle between us. He’s extremely approachable and fun and gave gave instructions. He was really easy to communicate with. We stayed in close touch to figure out lesson timing when it wasn’t raining, and he was overall super accommodating. We all improved our game after just a few lessons with him. We’ll definitely be booking with Kirk again when we’re in Charleston!”

“Had a great first lesson with Kirk after a 10-year hiatus from the sport. He gave quick and helpful feedback and has a great understanding of mechanics. Looking forward to getting my game back over the next few sessions with him.”

“Great guy, very knowledgeable about the game.”
