Tennis has been Marv’s passion since age 14 when
he was ranked #1 in the Boys and Juniors in his
hometown of Milwaukee. He was #1 in high school, the at the University of Wisconsin. His lifelong love
of the game brought him to pass on his knowledge
to others. Although his profession has been as a
clinical psychologist, over the years he continued to
play tournaments and reached a ranking of #19 in the
65's nationally. His involvement with the MTA
