Born and raised in Columbus Ohio and attended Ohio State University. I moved to Florida in 1981 and have been involved in the tennis industry ever since. I am an elite tennis professional and have been a USPTA member since 1991. I was the winner of the USPTA Florida Grand Prix men’s 35 singles in 1997. I have participated in the SWFL Pro League every season since its inception. (late 1990’S) I was the Director of Tennis and Pickleball at Heritage Palms Country Club from 2000-2024. I recently became the Head Tennis Professional at The Club at Olde Cypress.
