The Real Me

  • The real me is a tennis junkie. I have been playing the sport since I was 6 years old. I became a USTA teaching pro in 2014
    to 2020 and really enjoyed teaching people of all levels. To me a great weekend starts at 7am saturday on the courts
    playing a couple of sets of doubles and a quick game of pickleball. Then we head off for cold beer and good mexican food.
    The area we live in has a couple of real nice wineries that I like to visit a couple of times a year to taste the grapes. I am a
    big pinot grigio and chardonnay fan paired with salmon makes for a low key sunday evening
