He has been at the helm of both varsity teams for the last 10 years and holds numerous coaching records in both League and CIF competition. He was named coach of the decade by the Daily News in Boys Tennis for his remarkable 3 undefeated CIF championships in 4 years, and 124-0 winning record in Mission League matches over 10 years. Also, he was named 2005’s coach of the year by Los Angeles Times and Daily News.
