I have been playing the game of tennis ever since I was a little kid. My first tennis racket was a Chris Evert Special Wooden Racket from Walgreens. As an only child to working parents, my first and only hitting partner was the WALL. I would hit against the wall at the local parks and in my living room. The first real person I played against was in the 6th grade PE class and was hooked. I would look forward to playing anyone during PE especially after watching John McEnroe on TV. I played for my High School Team and played a year at the Junior College level.

I worked throughout my college life at a sporting goods store in the tennis department. There I learned about tennis products, how to string rackets and how to pair the right racket to the right person. My first job out of college was at a private Tennis Club doing their billing and running the Pro Shop. I have had jobs outside of tennis in the past 20 years but have always worked in tennis at some capacity. So, I feel that Tennis is my calling in life.
