Holcomb-Jones was introduced to tennis in Albany, New York through 15-LOVE, an independent organization which uses tennis to reach inner-city youth.
Holcomb-Jones, 37, went on to play college tennis and coach college tennis before returning to the sport in his current role as manager of USTA Foundation Excellence Program & Corporate Activations.
The USTA’s NJTL network has more than 250 programs around the country offering free or low-cost tennis and education programs to nearly 180,000 under-resourced youth each year.
"The goal is to continue to break down barriers for more diverse participants and continue to grow and have diverse participants feel welcome,” Holcomb-Jones said. “I want them to feel attended to and poured into and want to continue in the game."
