Patrick Kearns

I began my tennis career by attending the Professional Tennis Management program at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mi. in which I graduated in the fall of 1989. I was in the first PTM class at Ferris State University in 1986.

I spent my first two years of my career working at the John's Island Club in Vero Beach, Fl, five years at the Round Hill Club in Greenwich, Ct, and two years at the Country Club of Darien. In 1995 I became the Head Tennis Professional at Farmington Country Club. In 2012 I became the owner and Executive Director of 4 Star Camps.

In March of 2012 my wife Patti and I purchased 4 Star Tennis Camps at the University of Virginia. The camp has three components: Academics including SAT Prep and College Prep Workshops, Tennis, and Golf. Each summer we have kids from all over the world who come to Charlottesville to participate in the camp. This past summer we had kids from over 25 different countries.

In September of 2012 I partnered with Jim Maxwell of Martin Advertising to start TennisBusinessManagement.com which is a subscription based website for tennis professionals.

In January of 2013 I became the Executive Director of the Mid Atlantic United States Professional Tennis Association. The section covers Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

In the spring of 2013, I became the Head Coach of the Covenant Boys Tennis Team. The team won the State Championhship for the 6th consecutive year.

I reside in Charlottesville, VA with my wife Patti and my two daughters Lauren and Hannah.
