A Pittsburgh native, Rob played college tennis and earned a Business Administration Degree from Robert Morris University. He then went back to college to earn his teaching degree in Secondary Education at California University of PA. While he was there he was named the Head Women’s Tennis Coach, and within a year he coached the team to finish at a school best 15th in the East region.

Rob began teaching within the Pittsburgh area at Glen Creek Tennis Club which was recognized twice in 10 years as Organization of the Year in the USTA Middle States Section. Rob coached the #1 Girls 14 and 16 and under player and 3 of the top ten Boys 14’s and two 12 and under nationally ranked players.

 

It was then time to take his career to the next level as he arrived in Richmond to direct Brandermill Country Club’s Junior and Adult program, where he built the program to over 110 players and formed many leagues. In 2004, he moved to the west end and became Avalon’s Tennis Director and within 3 years he had over 470 returning kids and 280 adults filtering through the club and its many activities. In 2007, Rob was named Head Pro at Midlothian Tennis Club (formerly BCC) where he again built a junior program from the ground up and added more adult socials and clinics.

 

He now arrives at THREE CHOPT RECREATION CENTER to create an even more exciting program for the entire membership!!!  

Message from Rob:

 

Hello everyone. I am very excited to begin my tenure at Three Chopt Recreation. I would encourage you to visit our website (www.tcrclub.com) to see what TCRC has to offer. Our programs range from the fabulous USTA QuickStart Program to all different types of competition.  I cannot begin to name them all; however, I would like to highlight what I am sure will be the event of the summer and that is the THREE CHOPT SUMMER OLYMPICS for both Adults and Kids of all ages and abilities! We will run that August 28-29 and we will have events not all about tennis and swimming, but some other unique events to be named later. More details on that to come!
