Hi Beach Tennis Boosters!

This will be my last e-mail as the Head Coach of LBSU Tennis.

As I mentioned in January when my retirement was announced, I am leaving LBSU Athletics now because I have had some uncomfortable experiences with this administration, specifically the Athletic Director. As such, it has become untenable for me to continue working for this Athletic Director and I made the decision to move on.

I share this because I am concerned about the future of this athletic department and the tennis program. Moving forward, I hope that my fellow coaches are treated with more professionalism and respect than I received.

So, as I close this chapter of my professional life, I wanted to say THANK YOU for your unwavering support over the last 30 years. Our 22 Big West trophies, national rankings and countless academic awards would not have been possible without your generousity that enabled us to field the two unfunded scholarship positions each season.

In addition to our on court and academic successes, you afforded our program the opportunity to give our student-athletes unique and memorable experiences off court as well: hop on hop off bus tour of Boston; luaus and snorkeling with turtles in Hawaii; meeting Congressman Robert Garcia and touring the DC Capitol; playing Nebraska at the Indian Wells Tennis garden during the WTA/ATP event; deep dish pizza in Chicago; Alcatraz Island tour; the New York New York rollercoaster in Las Vegas and the list goes on.

Together we have positively impacted so many lives…..the #1 reason why I love coaching!
I will be forever grateful for your support and friendship! Let’s keep in touch and I’ll see you around town.
