Blaine grew up living in various states but still calls Advance, NC home. Blaine began playing tennis with his cousin where they refined their skills and played together at Davie High School where Blaine was MVP his junior year. Blaine also played at Lenoir-Rhyne College (now University) and was both the MVP and MIP (most improved player) his senior year. Blaine retired from TIAA in Charlotte in 2017, and continues to remain active playing tennis, pickleball, swimming, and biking. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Beverly. Blaine is an Eagle Scout and was involved in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venture Scouting leadership for 15 years. Blaine and Beverly tragically lost both of their teenage sons, Wes and Andy, in a car accident in 2002. Blaine and Beverly continue to rely on their faith and know they will see their sons again. Also, knowing that only God could make beauty from ashes, they made the decision to adopt from China and became the parents of their daughter, Hope in 2006.

Assistant Coach- Logan Freeman
I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home in Jefferson, NC. I graduated from ASU in 1981 with a degree in Business Administrative. I was a high school teacher in Ashe County for 22 years. During that time, I also coached tennis, basketball and cross country. In addition to spending time with my wife Jane, my hobbies include playing tennis and walking my dogs Roger and Riley.
