Dave grew up in Swaziland where he was introduced to tennis from a young age, and fell in love with the game from the very beginning. His mother ran a Montessori School from their family home, and it was there Dave recognised and committed his life path to empowering people to thrive through sport.
After moving to the UK and studying Sports Coaching at Canterbury, Dave began his tennis coaching career at a performance indoor centre where he managed the talent ID program for development of their junior players. In 2009 he moved to become Head Coach at Brenchley & Matfield LTC where he went on to build a thriving club, and a strong team. The club was awarded Kent LTA Club of the Year in 2018. Recognised personally, Dave was awarded LTA Kent Coach of the Year in 2017, and is committed to developing players alongside his award winning team.
“As Director of Evolution Tennis I am lucky to work in the world that I love best, with a great team of people round me. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a player develop, no matter what level they begin at, and sharing my passion for teaching with others.”
