RSPA Level 1 Tennis Pros
Geoff Maron
Geoff started playing tennis with his dad at Strawberry Hill Park in the 80s. He grew up playing tennis recreationally while also participating in almost every other sport he could manage. Sports continued as the primary focus of his non-working time until recently when it became his working life, too, when he said yes to teaching tennis part-time here at BIRC. He loves sharing tennis with others – for him it’s a sport that teaches us there is always so much more to learn.
RSPA Level 2 Tennis Pros
Kaarin Garcia
Kaarin is a native of Puget Sound but has played and taught tennis across the country. For all four years at California Lutheran University, she played number one singles. Kaarin has been a resident of Bainbridge Island since 2017 and has been teaching tennis through our Parks & Rec for the last several years. Her love for tennis was sparked early by her father, Mike Benson, who served as the head of tennis for both Pacific Lutheran and California Lutheran universities across a 35-year coaching career.
Winston Porter
Winston grew up playing tennis in Florida. He loves everything about the game, including the challenge of continually working to be the best player. Winston retired from working in the technology industry a few years ago, and when the opportunity to teach part-time at BIRC presented itself, he knew it was a fit for him! Winston cherishes the opportunity to help others learn this wonderful game. His favorite life lesson that tennis teaches us is patience.
