Ever since I started playing tennis in 1976, I was intrigued by how racquets were strung.  At age 15, I learned how to string from a local tennis pro and eventually was hired as the stringer for the Newk Plus One pro shop in Kona. 

After graduating from high school, I attended University of Hawaii at Manoa.  During that time, I worked part-time at McCully Bicycle and eventually full-time as the branch manager of McCully Tennis in 1982. 

In 1985, I became the Director of Tennis at the Waialae Iki 5 Tennis Center and started my own business, specializing in tennis services and sales.  I am also the League Coordinator for Junior Team Tennis  and actively play in various adult leagues as a 4.5 player.  

I was one of the first stringers in the state to become certified by the United States Racquet Stringers Association back in 1986.  In 1988, I was appointed the certification tester for Hawaii.  Since then, I’ve been professionally involved as a racquet stringer for the US Open, Davis Cup, Fed Cup, and various local professional events in Hawaii. 

I am passionate about tennis and have been fortunate over the years to make a career out of it!  Of the various aspects of my profession, racquet stringing has been at the top of the list.  I tell my customers frequently that, “stringing feels like therapy for me!” 

From recreational players to professional players, every racquet that I service is equally important!  When a customer plays with a racquet I strung, a part of me feels like I’m on the court with them!!

Let Your Strings Play!
