David Arroyave

Tennis Professional

Coming from humble beginnings, David received a lot of sponsorship during his
competitive junior days by tennis academies that offered tournament training programs
for top talents such as Reebok Junior Tennis Academy, N.Y.J.T.L (New York Junior
Tennis League), and Randy Mani Tennis Academy. Throughout his 8 years of academy
training, David has been ranked top 20 in the Eastern Conference section for each age
group from 12U, 14U, 16U, and 18U. Representing his high school, St. Francis
Preparatory School, David was a two-time singles finalist for the New York City Mayor's
Cup and a one-time doubles champion.

During his collegiate years, David played Division 1 tennis at St. John's University
while pursuing a science degree. Here he quickly realized the difficulty of balancing the
strenuous practice schedule and academic lab hours. After a full year, David
transferred over to the City College of New York where he played #1 singles for the
Division III school. Here he earned several achievements such as CUNYAC Rookie of
the Year, CCNY Most Outstanding Player Athlete, and the Athletic Academic Honor Roll
each year. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and would later
complete his M.B.A in Accounting and Business/Management.

David worked in the corporate tech world as an account manager full time and
spent summers teaching in some of Long Island's prestigious country clubs where he
contributed to the development of the local junior talents for the last 10 years. As of
2018, David opened his own private logistics company in Los Angeles while also doing
what he loves most, living and breathing tennis. He fell in love with the feeling of giving
back to the sport by using his technical and motivational skills in improving many
students of all ages, constructing long term relationships, and assisting those achieve
their short/long term goals on the court.

David was raised in Queens, New York and resides in Long Island.

Great Tennis, Great Teaching!
