For more than a decade, Chris has devoted his career to the development of high-performance junior athletes, helping young players reach their potential both on and off the court. His passion extends beyond producing successful competitors; he is equally committed to developing confident, resilient, and well-rounded individuals whose character matches their athletic achievements.

Prior to joining Airport Tennis, Chris served as Director of High Performance at both ACE Tennis Vaughan and Tennis Clubs of Canada, where he led the development of competitive junior programs and helped guide athletes through provincial, national, and international pathways. Throughout his coaching career, he has worked with multiple provincial champions, served as a Team Ontario National Coach, and most recently played a key role in guiding athletes to Canadian National Singles and Doubles titles.

As High Performance Director, Chris’s vision is to build a world-class training environment that develops athletes from aspiring juniors into international-level competitors through purposeful training, clear performance standards, and a culture built on excellence.

At the heart of Chris’s coaching philosophy is a simple belief: the little things matter. Attention to detail, daily habits, and consistent effort are often what separate good players from great ones. He believes excellence should be reflected in everything athletes do, from their work ethic and preparation to the way they carry themselves as teammates and competitors.

While expectations within the program are high, Chris is equally committed to creating an environment where athletes genuinely enjoy the journey. Every practice is an opportunity to improve, compete, learn, and have fun. By balancing hard work with enthusiasm, he strives to create a culture where players challenge one another, build lasting confidence, develop strong friendships, and foster a lifelong love of the game.

Chris is excited to lead the next generation of athletes within a dynamic and ambitious club environment, where world-class coaching, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement combine to help every player maximize their potential. Through a combination of proven player development systems, high-performance expertise, and a genuine passion for helping athletes succeed, he is committed to creating an environment where players can pursue excellence and reach their full potential.

“Chris now plays golf, and you know what, we love that for him!”
