His volunteer efforts extend to various tennis-related programs, including the Delray Beach Open, Special Olympics, and many other initiatives. His commitment to the sport and its growth is clear with his in his continuous participation in Community Coaches Trainings and local tennis communities. 

Volunteering is important to the tennis ecosystem and many events can’t be run without the support of volunteers. Bob loves to volunteer and said it’s one of his best joys in life. “It gives me satisfaction to interact with like-minded people and possibly influences them to get in the game or stay in the game,” he said. 

One of Bob’s most cherished tennis memories is passing his first on-court certification test to teach tennis. This has opened the door for him to share the sport with so many others. Bob loves to put a smile on someone’s face as he shared the fundamentals of tennis.
