Nathan grew up in Forster and was a National level junior tennis player and achieved success in cross country and athletics via the school pathway. After years of competing, Nathan turned his interest to coaching under the tutelage of Jaime McDonagh and pursued formal qualification in 2006 to add to his want to coach aspiring tennis players.

Post university, Nathan worked for Tennis NSW promoting the game in Central West NSW. During this time, he also ran Coach Education workshops as well as establishing the Central West Regional Squad. He was then chosen as an ambassador for Tennis Australia’s Cardio Tennis Program which led to him delivering sessions at the Grand Slam Coaches Conference.

Nathan was Head Coach in Mudgee and grew the player base from 6 juniors to over 250 in a few years. He coached kids to achieve local and regional success, coached the local school to finish 4th in the Victor J Kelly State schools knockout, coached kids to qualify for the regional team to compete at State amongst other successes. He is dedicated to assisting his expertise to each person that steps on to the court.

Ultimately, Nathan missed the coast and fell in love with Lake Cathie whilst on a holiday a few years ago and now calls Lake Cathie home. From the youngest player starting out to the oldest player looking for a few new tricks, Nathan is able to give the best personal performance
