Welcome Mark Collins
The United States Tennis Association Missouri Valley is excited to announce a new addition to its staff: Mark Collins. Mark joins the Section as the new Digital Content Producer after spending the past four years working in the golf industry.
He grew up outside of St. Paul, Minn. and picked up tennis in junior high school. He proceeded to play varsity tennis all four years of high school. He graduated from the University of Missouri in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Spanish.
After graduating he moved to Kansas City for about a year before moving to Houston to get his start in the sports industry. He then spent the next few years running golf tournaments and coordinating communication efforts for the Texas Golf Association and Southern Ohio PGA.
He moved back to Kansas City in February and joined the USTA Missouri Valley team in October. He is excited to trade in his golf clubs for a tennis racquet and help grow the game of tennis throughout the Missouri Valley.
