Ted grew-up in San Diego, California, where his childhood friend was Red Sox left-fielder Ted Williams.
From 1951 to 1956, Ted’s career took him to upstate New York where he succeeded Pancho Segura as the tennis pro at the Concord Hotel where he taught during the summer months.
He left the Boca Hotel in 1970 for the Tennis Club in Fort Lauderdale because it presented a new concept in tennis clubs: condos surrounding tennis courts!
Ted was a great friend of Bobby Riggs who was a notorious gambler and admitted male chauvinist. He was a guy’s guy and would bet on anything.
