I have been servicing the Sacramento area for over 20 years. I have been the head pro at Arden Park for about 12 years, and have a full tennis program for both children and adults. We offer interclub for adults and have a wide range of activities for the junior players. With my over 30 years of teaching experience, I take great pride in offering classes for all levels. I teach every class personally, and use my vast experience to keep my lessons captivated.
