About Me
I took over the University of Mary women's tennis head coaching position in 2012 and my life has never been the same. Coaching started as a pastime and became a vocation.
I'm responsible for organizing, developing, and administering an intercollegiate program. It includes teaching and providing the mission values of excellence, respect, and community. Overseeing the discipline, conduct, and positive character development as well as generating camaraderie among student-athletes.
Why I’m At MaryEach year has been enjoyable, challenging, fun, and fulfilling. Seeing student-athletes improve their game, enjoy playing tennis, and develop lasting friendships is very rewarding.
It's been a privilege getting to know a diverse group of student-athletes of different abilities and personalities, seeing them evolve into mature adults, and completing their degree at the university is very gratifying.
