Thanks for checking out my website!
I began my tennis career by attending the Professional Tennis Management program at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mi. in which I graduated in the fall of 1989. I was in the first PTM class at Ferris State University in 1986.
I spent my first two years of my career working at the John's Island Club in Vero Beach, Fl, five years at the Round Hill Club in Greenwich, Ct, and two years at the Country Club of Darien. In 1995 I became the Head Tennis Professional at Farmington Country Club. In 2012 I became the owner and Executive Director of 4 Star Camps.
Since arriving in Virginia, I have been awarded the USPTA Virginia Professional of the Year in 1999, 2000, 2007 and 2010 was the winner of the USPTA Mid Atlantic Professional of the Year in 2000 and 2008. In 2009 Farmington Country Club was named the USTA Virginia Club of the Year.
