About Us

Thank you for visiting CuteTennisStuff.com and taking the time to see who we are!!

Incorporated in Marietta, Georgia in 2005, my little company was formed on a dream, a leap of faith, some amazing friendships, a endlessly supportive husband and a credit card!  After working in both Healthcare and Information Technology and spending far too many nights away from home, I decided that I had had enough and wanted to be my own boss.  Unfortunately, the corporate paycheck stopped with the travel and I got to see the other side of self employment!

I grew up in the tiny town of Gilman, Illinois that to this day does not posess a stop light.  At some point during my youth, I remember our town park putting in concrete tennis courts, but shortly thereafter it seems the nets disappeared.  My first real attempt to play tennis was at the age of 31 shortly after my husband and I married.  We decided that we needed a sport that we could both play together.  His sports of golf and hockey just were not going to work for me!  When my career in healthcare moved us to Atlanta in 2000, the tennis bug bit and I spent every spare moment on the court.

Since then, tennis has become a way of life as it does for so many.  Friendships and leisure time now all largely revolve around the game that we love so much.  While a career change for my husband has relocated our five dogs, a cat and the two of us to our current home in Gurley, Alabama (just outside of Huntsville), we have managed to find a new tennis family.  A family, that while much smaller than in our Georgia home, one that is every bit as competitive!

I hope that you will enjoy our "stuff".  With the help of artist Joel Samuelson and graphic artist and former college roommate Tracy Goodpaster, we continue to try to bring the on court tennis humor of daily life into both the products that we create and those that we represent.  I have been blessed to be able to work in this industry and to travel to some of the most beautiful tennis venues in the country.  In 2012, we have plans to exhibit at all three ATP Masters 1000 events in the US.  Strangely, I don't seem to mind the travel as much anymore!

Thanks for shopping with us!  Please come by our booths in Indian Wells, Miami and Cincinnati to say hello!
