John MAno 

Gew up in Seal Beach, California, where he started tennis at age 7 at Laurel Park in Los Alamitos, CA. Immediately I loved tennis and started competing in tournaments at age 8. As a junior, he was known for his endurance, quickness, heavy topspin shots and consistent style of play. Now aged 34, he brings over 26 years of playing experience and 15 years of teaching experience to the program. Achievied a top 10 rank in Southern California and a national rank in the top 20. ​
