For over 20 years, tennis has shaped my life. Through both victory and defeat, I’ve seen how the sport creates unique opportunities for athletes to experience faith and discover lasting purpose.

Tennis often pressures players to define themselves by performance. In moments of loss, many athletes begin asking deeper questions about identity, worth, and meaning. These moments open the door to hope, guidance, and truth about who they are created to be.

​Through Athletes in Action – Tennis, I walk alongside players, coaches, and teams—helping them experience freedom, hope, and lasting identity beyond the scoreboard.

Our Vision

We are pursuing a bold mission: 700 disciples made, 70 college campuses reached, 7 international trips

All to reach people with the Gospel, equip them through discipleship, and empower them to share it with others in the tennis world.

Why Your Partnership Matters

Your partnership allows me to disciple athletes, visit campuses and tournaments, lead retreats and Bible studies, and share the gospel locally and globally. Every gift directly supports ministry that helps athletes discover their identity in Christ.

How Giving Works

Cru staff are supported entirely through the faithful partnership of individuals and churches. Many partners give $100 per month, but any amount God leads you to give makes a real impact.

Thank you for prayerfully considering partnering with me.
