ABOUT
Tennis has been a constant in my life since my days grinding it out as a competitive junior at Saddlebrook. Now, as a full-time tennis coach, I bring that same drive and passion to the court every day—working with players at every stage of their journey.
Whether you're picking up a racket for the first time, battling it out in junior tournaments, pushing toward a Division 1 roster spot, or chasing ATP/WTA points, I tailor my coaching to fit your game, your goals, and your grind.
My approach is intentional and systematic, rooted in helping players truly master the art of tennis. It’s more than just hitting balls—it's about building a game that holds up under pressure, developing instincts that win matches, and sharpening the mental edge that separates good from great.
I believe in hard work, smart training, and never taking ourselves too seriously—except when it comes to that ball toss.
MASTERING THE ART OF TENNIS
TESTIMONIALS

"I first enlisted lessons from Taylor when I spotted a hot tennis pro with a ball machine from across the courts. At the time, I was inspired to take lessons for reasons other than improving my serve. I was pretty confident in my game. But ten minutes into our first lesson, Taylor pointed out my antiquated grip (a continental if you can believe it), he fine-tuned my stroke, and he encouraged me to get out of my head whenever a ball flatlined into the net. Our first lesson was six months ago. Taylor continues to coach me on a weekly basis. Using a personal approach, he makes astute analyses. Talking through insecurities and struggles with the game, Taylor pinpoints what needs to change for me to feel and play better. Taylor is like a cold drink in the desert: you don't really want to share him. That being said, he brings teamwork, friendly direction, and boat loads of enthusiasm to a game we share love for."

"Taylor has single handedly made me fall in love with the game of Tennis! I decided to pick up the sport as a 2022 goal and prior to my lessons with Taylor had never properly learned how to hit a tennis ball. Taylor is patient, supportive, and incredibly precise in his instruction. His awareness to what I need to focus on is and has always been on-point from the very beginning. He knows when to slow lessons down and when to speed through things that I seem to grasp more naturally. Now at the end of 2022, I am playing competitively with friends who have been playing tennis for years. My lessons with Taylor continue to give me immense value and beyond being an incredible coach, Taylor has become a friend that I enjoy spending time with! Something I find necessary for 6:15am tennis lessons!! Couldn't recommend Taylor more for anyone looking to learn or improve their tennis skills, no matter what level they're at."

"To be a great instructor, you first have to be a master at your craft, and Taylor has that in spades when it comes to tennis. But being a teacher requires much more than just having command of the sport. Between an undergraduate and three graduate degrees, I’ve had a lot of teachers. I can say, without question, Taylor is one of the most influential I’ve ever had. He has truly changed my life. Learning this complex sport has been a challenge and a joy—a physical, mental and spiritual journey I never expected. My time learning from Taylor is a gift I am profoundly grateful for. He is an immensely skilled communicator, motivator, coach, and inspiration. He provides the perfect balance of push and encouragement, creating enough tension to keep me progressing and still have a great time doing it. His consistent positive energy is infectious. I’ve had over a hundred lessons with Taylor and every single time I walk away a better human and a little closer to understanding the game of tennis. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

"Taylor is a magical human being. When you train with him, you get a coach and a healer in the same lesson. His approach to tennis feels very fresh, you get the technical stuff to perfection plus a visual approach to it. The tools he implements, like retraining the brain to ease on the mistakes, works very well for a game as mentally challenging as tennis is."

"Taylor is a phenomenal Tennis Coach, the best I've worked with. He meets you where you are as a player, analyzes your game and listens to your goals as a player, and immediately gives you the tools to improve. We completely reworked my forehand, as well as my serve, and tweaked my back hand, and over the course of three or four sessions, I found myself a markedly better, and more consistent tennis player. Taylor gives you things you can do at home, off of the court, to think about your game, and strokes, and it really feels like he cares more about you improving as a player, then he does getting more sessions out of you as a client. I continue to work with Taylor whenever possible. Would recommend him to anyone."

"Only having taken tennis lessons for one or two years growing up, I considered myself a beginner, picking up a racquet just about a year or so ago. After playing tennis casually over lockdown, I decided to take lessons with a coach. I had taken a few clinics and a 6 week semi-private course with an instructor, which all helped my game. But when I started taking lessons with Taylor, my technique improved tenfold. Even from the first lesson I felt like he was able to assess my skills and quickly help make small tweaks that felt achievable. I called my friend after my first lesson and immediately told her that she needed to take lessons with him, too. What I love about Taylor's approach is how he builds upon technique in a very purposeful way. For each of his clients he uses specific trigger words to help keep your technique front of mind. He keeps you motivated by celebrating your victories, no matter how small, and keeping you accountable. Even though he is your coach and isn't afraid to give you notes throughout the lesson, he is nonjudgmental, caring, and genuine. I started taking lessons with him just about 6 months ago, and my game is worlds better than it was when | first met him. I have Taylor to thank for my tennis game."

"He genuinely cares about your success as a coach. He pushes you to your limit but does it in a way that feels very supportive. Getting coached by Taylor always makes my week better and keeps me super excited about playing tennis!"
