Starting tennis at the age of 6 years old, I always had a dream in my mind, to maximize my ability and become a professional tennis player. After graduating from the University of Kentucky with a BA in business marketing that time has come!

During my collegiate career at Kentucky I had to work my way up the ladder. It was not always easy as I started out low in the lineup but with hard work and perseverance I ended up as team captain for 3 seasons with over 90 wins in singles and doubles.

I finished my career ranked #85 in the country in singles in the ITA rankings and number #6 in the country in doubles. With this I earned All-American status. A long with this I was also a three time all-SEC community service member and a
SAAC member.

Professionally I am currently ranked #1625 ATP in the world in singles and have been as high as #792 ATP in the world in doubles as well.

Being a professional tennis player requires a lot of sacrifice. The hours training on and off court, the early mornings and late nights, dedication to diet and of course the travel. It’s not an easy life and furthermore this journey is made even harder financially especially at the beginning of your career. This is why I’m starting this page today. To give you an insight a year on the tour averages at cost of around $40,000 of expenses. Coaching fees, hotels, traveling expenses. Prize money and team matches will help me to earn some money but it probably won’t be enough to cover all of my expenses. My parents are sacrificing to help but I am looking for more support. After calculating the predicted expenses I think that I’m still $10,000 short which is why I’m reaching out to you today. If helping me to accomplish these dreams is something you would be interested in then please reach out to me. Everything helps and I will be extremely thankful. I want to succeed for myself, my family and of course the big blue nation! With your support I believe I can achieve great things in this sport and I will be forever appreciative for your help and generosity.

I will of course be sharing my journey with you with regular updates.
