"I'm a relative newbie to squash, and now an obsessive devotee of this fantastic sport. It's rewarding and challenging, both physically and mentally, and fantastic stress reliever. Smashing that tiny ball is the best way to forget about the worries of the world. It's been phenomenal to learn from the best and witness my game quickly and dramatically improve."

Bobby is one of the most genuine and caring people I know. I've had the pleasure to get to know him as a college squash player back at Bates, and as a competitor on the SDA Pro Tour, and then as a colleague at the R&TC. His compassion and love for the sport make him an excellent teacher and stellar competitor. I've watched him handle himself under pressure; and now, as he shapes furture generations, I could not picture him in a better place of influence. I was lucky to work with Bobby and am even luckier to consider him a close friend.
