Ross began playing tennis at 8 years old in Klimkovice, Czech Republic. After becoming the # 1 ranked junior in his town, he entered into competitive tennis by becoming a club player. He played on the Czech junior tour and joined the club’s Team Tennis league. He got to play interschool tournaments and also internationally in Sweden, Italy and Poland. When he was 17 he became an assistant coach in Pivoda’s Tennis Academy in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
His main goal was to compete in tournaments and become a pro-tour player. All of that had changed, when he arrived to the United States in 1998. He became an assistant coach at Heritage Tennis in Irvine. In 2001, he began teaching at Tustin Racquet Club and then started his own private instruction which soon became his priority. In 2003, he was a head-pro at Grassini Tennis Academy in Tustin. In 2004, he signed a contract with the City Of Irvine and started Turtle Rock Tennis, with his wife Lanea (USPTR Professional) We offer a full tennis program, providing instruction to all ages and levels.

Prior to becoming a Tennis Professional for the City Of Irvine, I have spent over 18 years in the field of early Childhood Education as well as in Administration for Young Children Management. Special skills include working with children and adults with disabilities. My favorite part of my work has been the opportunity to create exercise materials and curriculum both for fine motor and gross motor skill development. Giving children and adults a variety of exercises to enhance their physical coordination as well as their concentration to perform in any activity they choose. I have been fortunate to be able to get involved in sports my whole life starting at age 3, mostly Soccer, Softball and Dance. My passion for Tennis came about the very first time I hit a tennis ball. In comparison to the other sports, I never thought tennis could be so exciting, so challenging and so much fun! I am currently a PTR Certified Professional and a member of the USTA. I serve on the advisory staff of HEAD/PENN. Outside of the court, I am a Irvine resident and enjoy playing Competitive Tennis. My hobbies include Traveling, Photography, Sports and Writing.
