The Story

Michael was a four-year starter for the University of Michigan Men’s Tennis Team from 2006 to 2010, competing at the NCAA Division 1 level and helping the Wolverines to a Sweet 16 berth in 2008.

Before Michigan, he was a top-10 nationally ranked USTA junior player in each age division, building the competitive foundation that now informs his coaching.

He graduated with a degree in Psychology and was a University of Michigan Academic Achievement Award winner — a background he credits for his player-first approach to development.
