- Random Facts: 1) When I began playing tennis as an early teenager, I used to browse through the member directory at my local tennis club and phone-call adults I had randomly selected and never met in order to "challenge" them to tennis matches. Though I lost many of those matches, I learned a lot about tennis during those awesome early experiences, and have been hooked on the sport ever since. 2) I was born in India. During my last visit in 2007, I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful Taj Mahal.
- Tennis Experience: 4-yr varsity player with the University of La Verne men's tennis team, competing in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference against perennial national title contenders Redlands, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Pomona-Pitzer, etc. Top 16 player in WIAA (Washington) High School State Championships (2000, 2001). My greatest strength as a player and instructor is my appreciation and teaching of the important mental game and elements of strategy in tennis, with an emphasis on modern technique, in a fun, energetic atmosphere. I enjoy teaching all levels and ages.
