He comes to Beaverton from the University of Oregon, where he spent three seasons as assistant coach with the women's tennis program. Before Oregon, he was head men's and women's coach at the University of Redlands, where his women's team reached the NCAA Division III Sweet 16 and a No. 15 national ranking, and he signed top-15 recruiting classes on both sides in a single year.
His record was built at Pacific University. Five years as an assistant, then five as head men's coach: 95–41 overall, 63–12 in the Northwest Conference, a No. 17 national ranking, 14 All-Conference athletes and 34 All-Conference Scholar-Athletes. He was named Northwest Conference Coach of the Year in 2021 and ITA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2016.
The Pacific Northwest is where he started. From 2009 to 2012 he was a teaching professional at Bremerton Tennis & Athletic Club, where he coached junior teams to USTA nationals and developed five nationally ranked juniors. He then spent a year at Sea Island Resort in Georgia, working with juniors and adults and serving as a hitting partner for WTA professional Emily Harman.
