Marital Status: Available

Profession: Executive Director, US Tennis Association/Middle States Section

Biography:  After H.S. I spent a year at Wilkes College deciding what I wanted to do when I grew up. Decided on a career in Recreation and Leisure Services Management and headed for studies at East Stroudsburg University--and yes, it was not easy explaining to my parents that I was going to college to major in leisure! Graduate school followed at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) for a masters degree in Sports Management/Administration. My first post-academic positions were in New York City followed by a 5-year stint with the United States Tennis Association's Eastern section (NY) as the director of junior recreational and competitive programs. In 1990, I accepted the position as Executive Director for the USTA/Middle States section that services PA, DE, NJ and WV. I live and work in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It has been a great 12 years back in my "home state" but winds of change may be blowing---so stay tuned! Speaking of winds, when I am not playing "workaholic" I am staying true to my love of recreation and I am a passionate sailor. I am also an avid herb gardener and enjoy a variety of leisure time activities including gourmet cooking, biking and of course the occasional game of tennis (although not nearly as much as you would think!). I do not do any of these activities well--guess I am a "Jack of all Trades-Master of None!" But heck--it sure is fun! Sorry I'll miss you at the reunion--unfortunately I will be working in NYC at the US Open. Enjoy and I will be thinking about you all!
