    Co-founded Albuquerque Tennis Academy, a high-performance junior program geared toward helping tennis players 18 and under recognize their full potential as players on court and as people off it. We want to create a tight-knit, cohesive team of like-minded young players who can push one another and develop as a collective rather than a group of individuals. Our philosophy revolves around going “all in” when it comes to three core tenets: ALL INtensity, ALL INtegrity, ALL INtelligence
