Manhattan Plaza Racquet Club

Jake has been a staff pro at MPRC since 2020. He is a PTR certified teaching pro and has a wealth of playing/teaching experience. After taking up the sport at age 9, Jake soon after began excelling and competing in USTA tournaments in it’s Eastern section in all age divisions. He opted not to play collegiate tennis in order to study his other passion of acting.

After a short hiatus, Jake returned to the tennis industry through teaching. He began working for the nonprofit junior tennis organization NYJTL, working his way to becoming a site director for their programs at Manhattan Plaza, a position he inherited from his childhood coach.  In 2018, Jake began working for Advantage Tennis clubs in their QuickStart 10&U tennis division, which quickly expanded to teaching privates at their outdoor club East Side Tennis Association, where he is now a head pro. Jake also was the head coach for the United Nations International School‘s Varsity tennis team.

Jake enjoys extending his passion for the game of tennis to people of all ages and levels.
