I began playing the game at age 4 here in las vegas. My mother was an avid 4.5 tennis player and introduced me to the game of tennis. She still is very involved with jr tennis and is on the nta scholarship committee. Whether it was hitting on the wall for hours at bob baskin park or hitting serves at the sands with my mom, tenni
s was my life. I knew from a young age that all I wanted to do was be around the game I loved. I was blessed to work with the likes of George McCall and Pancho Gonzales thru the NTA future stars program. People like Sandy Tueller took me under their wing and provided free coaching for me and gave me
an opportunity to develop correctly at a young age.

Nestled off of Sahara is one of the most charming tennis clubs in Las Vegas, Spanish Oaks Tennis Club. Built in the 1970's, this small 6 court tennis facility has a lot of history. A diamond in the rough, the courts are off this great sloping hill where players have been known to sit back, have lunch and watch tennis for hours. Much like the traditional tennis club where playing and watching tennis becomes a whole day affair the tiny club is protected by some of the largest and most beautiful tress in the city, providing relaxing shade to on lookers.
