Tennis Friends,

Tennis is my business but it is much more than that - it is my passion.  I never thought that someday I would be back in my hometown teaching and coaching in Southern Illinois.

After several years pursuing my own software business, a brain hemorrhage stroke which put me in a wheel chair for several months, and a few more years as CFO of Carpet One in Central Arkansas here I am, back in the tennis game - no pun intended!.  I have been very lucky to have had a continuing rehabilitation for over 11 years and I feel like I am growing younger not older - what a deal!  Tennis must really be the fountain of youth - Ponce de León should have just taken up the game instead of wasting all that time sailing up and down the coast of Florida.

I hope you came to my little work in progress because of "word-of-mouth" but you're here, so please help yourself to whatever useful information you can find.  The main tennis information and tennis lesson section is always going to be a work-in-progress so keep checking back to see if I've found any time to add to it.

Feedback is important because it is communication and communication makes this a better world to live and PLAY in.  Give me some if you find time.
