I was born and raised in New Brunswick Canada where I learned to play tennis. During my late teens in 1999, I was able to obtain a number 1 tennis ranking in the men’s east cost Canada tennis open circuit.
In 2000, I played 4 years for the Washington College tennis team and was able to help our team compete in 3 final eight national NCAA tennis championships. During those years, I also worked each summers at various tennis teaching positions including Boothbay Harbor Maine, East Lyme Connecticut, and Winchester Country Club tennis.
From 2005-2006, I was studying for my graduate’s degree at Georgia State University while being the men and women’s tennis coach. Our men’s team was able to win a NCAA tennis championship in 2005.
After completing my Sport Administration Masters degree, I was then able to get a tennis directorship position at the Brae Burn Country Club, in Newton, Massachusetts from 2007- present. This job requires the administration of 8 tennis pros and the management of the Junior and Adult tennis program.
I will like to find a resort during the first week of January where I could participate in this program if possible.
