Tennis
I am a keen tennis player, with a long history of involvement in the sport.
Back in the 1990s, I had the privilege of coaching aspiring juniors at the Concord Racquets Club in New Hampshire and I am a qualified level 2 LTA coach.
While I was at university I was captain of the successful university tennis team, twice reaching the UAU finals, losing to Loughborough both times.
I also competed in the RAF Tennis championships in 1992, where i was lucky enough to play the semis and finals in both the singles and doubles at the AELTC in Wimbledon.
Today, I am actively engaged in playing ITF Master tournaments, I have entered about 15 tournaments over the past 2 years, and have 8 trophies to show for it. Some highlights include playing a handful of top 10 players, including a former world #1 (who coached Djokovic and more recently Halep).

My ITF world ranking peaked in April 2025, at #23 in Mixed and #106 in Mens, which puts me as #1 in Ireland (or #2 in UK if I chose to play under that flag).
I'd like to thank my great partners - Vasilly and Beverly - who are both amazing.
I would be delighted am excited to extend an invitation to anyone who would want to join me for doubles or mixed doubles matches.
