Thank you for all of your well wishes and inquiries into my personal and professional life.  I apologize for taking so long to update this site, but it took me awhile to come to this necessary conclusion.

 After three surgeries, and with the reality that I would be facing yet another rotator cuff surgery in an attempt to keep playing professionally, I’ve reluctantly decided to retire from the ATP Tour.  While disappointed, I am so thankful for the successes that I have had on the court, the experiences I’ve had in traveling the world, and mostly for the relationships that I have developed over the past eight years.  I want to thank everyone that I have stayed with, played with and against, and also those of you who have supported me in person, and on the internet and through your prayers.

 As a graduate of the McIntire School of Business at the University of Virginia, the next logical step in my life was to leverage my Finance and Business Management degrees and to explore options in the business industry.  Ultimately, I‘ve decided to join my long time friend and financial advisor, Todd Kennedy, and begin my post tennis career with UBS Financial Services.  Todd and his clients have enjoyed remarkable success and I am fortunate to have him as a tutor as I build my practice.  I share his philosophy of building upon conservative investments while maintaining a keen eye on selective growth opportunities.  This is a perfect fit for me, for this attitude has served me well as a player. I was not the most flashy player, but obtained success through hard work, patience and paying attention to fundamentals.  I will use that same approach in my second career, as well.

Working with UBS seems somehow prophetic.  They were there to support my Brighter Future Foundation at its inception in 2003.  Many of the pictures from the event actually have both Andy and me standing in front of their logo. It is nice to work for a company that shares my belief of giving back to the community.  The Foundation will always be one of my finest accomplishments and I hope to look for ways to continue its success.

So, I am excited about my new venture. It gives my new life structure, but allows me to still work at what I care about most, and that is maintaining past relationships and helping the people that I care about.  Please keep in touch, and let me know how I can help.
