Experience

As a designer and consultant, Tim has put his mark on sports facilities making them more efficient, effective and aesthetically pleasing.  His tennis concepts have been used internationally and have won the 2012 American Sports Builder’s Association Award for Outstanding Facility as well as the USTA’s 2013 Outstanding Facility Award which he accepted in New York at the 2013 US Open.

His work at the Greater Naples YMCA revived an aging and derelict 10 court tennis facility raising over $350,000, bringing it up to become one of the most unique facilities in South Florida and in the YMCA system.  The Y, via Tim’s vision, now includes 2 Grand Slam replica surfaces: US Open Deco Turf and French Open European Red Clay. In addition to adding a miniature Children’s court for ages 3 and 4, Tim’s creation of a top staff, new programming, marketing and customer service again innovates to serve a YMCA of over 10,000 members providing tennis for all ages and levels, from beginner to the collegiate and professional athlete using tennis to teach life lessons. 

  Academically, a passion for knowledge of the technical and mental aspects of athletics led him to the University of Florida’s revered College of Health and Human Performance in Gainesville, Florida, where he lectured in Exercise and Sport Science and completed a master’s degree in Sport Psychology and Motor Learning.  While attaining a B.A. in Health and Exercise Science, Tim played NCAA Division I tennis at Furman University in Greenville, SC where his team captured 4 straight Southern Conference Championships.  As a Junior, Tim trained under renowned Romanian Davis Cup Coach László Serester on Long Island, New York.

Tim’s athletic, academic and scientific background, combined with years of experience working with talented performers, helped develop his holistic and inspired methods. His wide ranging study of ‘the roots of excellence’ in all types of high performers including that of artists, musicians, designers, executives and others, contributes to his creative mental approach and his understanding of what it takes to be truly great in any endeavor.  Common among each of his roles is Tim’s dedication to helping others to excellence through personal relationships and a thorough understanding of each performance environment.
