About Me

Well, I am a freshman at Wheaton College, and we are ..1! I am an Economics and Writing Major with a minor in Hispanic Studies. After college I plan on teaching tennis at the highest possible level. Right now, I play tennis on the ..9 team in the Northeastern region, with some of the nastiest tennis players. I am a really laid back guy, but when it comes to tennis, (which is pretty much my life) I am really intense and passionate about it. I train for tennis all the timeand as I said , I love tennis. Chances are if I am not in my room studying my game and other players styles of play, doing schoolwork or playing guitar, I am in the gym working out for tennis, or at Haas playing tennis. I love to workout and I spend a lot of time in the gym with one of our personal trainer's named Adam. I also do an hour long sprint workout with him a couple times a week with two guys on my tennis team. Thats pretty much it, if you really want to get to know me then try this...ask me. PEACE.
