For PISE CEO, tennis isn't just a sport- it's a way of life. Robert’s tennis journey has spanned five decades that began in North Vancouver at the age of 10. After being introduced to the sport by his mother, who brought her love of tennis with her when the family moved from Germany to Canada, Robert found his stride at the Capilano Tennis Club.

By 12, Robert clinched his first provincial title (BC U12 Singles), with a national championship following a few years later at age 14 (Canada U14 Singles). He now has over 80 titles, including over 25 provincial and 10 national titles. Click the link to read more. https://bit.ly/4c3SbBr
