Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, Whit graduated from Prescott College in Prescott, Arizona, with a degree in Adventure Education and a minor in Photography. After college, he lived and worked in New Zealand, Australia, and throughout the Western United States. After years of coaching and teaching, Whit was lured into the corporate world in Louisville, KY, where he worked in orthopedic sales and hospital operations. He shares, “I went from literally climbing mountains out west to standing in knee and hip surgeries—only to find out what was really important to me.” In 2008, after years in the corporate world, Whit realized that chasing money left him unfulfilled. He decided to follow his true passion—athletics, coaching, and training—believing that happiness would follow. Shortly after, Whit met and married his wife, Courtney, on the beach. They now live in Sarasota, Florida. A three-time graduate of NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School), Whit is now a fully certified USPTA Tennis Professional. He has taught tennis at several prestigious Sarasota clubs including The Field Club, Sarasota Sports Club, The Sanderling Club, and currently serves as the Assistant Pro at Bird Key Yacht Club under Jackie Bohannon. His fitness background includes experience with OrangeTheory, Mantra (Pilates instruction), F45, and private personal training. Today, Whit continues to live his passion by helping others feel good, look good, and most importantly, build lasting health through tennis and fitness as a lifestyle—not a quick fix. You might find Whit: Fishing, swimming with his daughters, playing tennis, kayaking, running (triathlons and road races), training, backpacking, biking, or taking photos.
