USPTA Certified Teaching Professional

Earning the nickname “Renaissance Man”, Michael spent eight years working at the Tacoma Lawn and Tennis Club in diverse roles including helping junior players, assisting in the pro shop, and assisting front desk customers, event staff, and security.  Michael credits these activities and TLTC General Manager Tom Peterson with instilling a love and passion for teaching and coaching tennis.

Working summers at Lakewood Racquet and Sports Club under the guidance of LRC Coach Greg Smith further advanced his coaching education. His first love was teaching children and seeing the joy in their eyes when their successes became more frequent. These experiences led Michael to a career in teaching and coaching tennis. His first official coaching job was as an assistant coach for Green River Community College.  Following high school and college, Michael returned to coach the Decatur High School girl’s team for a year, followed by three years coaching the boys and girls teams at Spanaway Lake High School.

Michael is USPTA certified and he taught full time for two years at Sprinker Tennis Center, after which he left to help set up the new Jupiter Tennis Center.

As a player, Michael was a Curtis High School SPL League 4A State Champion, two-time NWAC Regional Champion, and a member of the Pacific Lutheran University men’s tennis team from 2009-2011. He was also a team member of the Sprinker men’s 4.5 18+ Team that qualified for USTA 2017 Nationals.

He is thrilled to be able to apply his teaching and coaching skills and all-around passion for tennis at Galbraith Tennis Center.
