Hi everyone! My name is John, and I’m 26 years old. I’m pretty much a complete beginner at tennis aside from taking a few lessons, but I’m a decent pickleball player. I work in Midtown as an engineering consultant and live in LIC. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, traveling (20+ countries so far!), and meeting new people.
