Chuck Gill

Chuck Gill has gleaned a variety of professional experiences and personal contacts from his tennis-teaching career. “The best part of my job is the people that I have met through tennis,” Chuck said. “Although my primary expertise is in club and resort programs and operations, I also have experience as a high school and college coach, and have worked in resort and club sales, operations, and marketing." One of Chuck’s greatest assets is his ability to bring an enthusiasm for the game to work every day. He has served as Director of Tennis at Ibis Golf and Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, since 1995.

He was also honored as the division's Tester of the Year in 2005 and received the Special Recognition for Career Development by earning over 90 hours of continuing education credits in 2001. In addition, he is a member of the USTA and serves on the professional advisory staffs of HEAD/Penn Racquet Sports and Nike. He also is on the Board of Directors for the Tim and Tom Gullikson Foundation, which provides support for brain tumor patients and their families. He has been involved with many "Lessons for Life" charity events, serving as Co-Chair of the Cystic Fibrosis "Love Affair" in 1995 and 1996, which raised over $150,000 for CF. He is actively involved with the Tim and Tom Gullikson foundation, where he has helped organize and host 15 Tennis and Golf Pro-Ams between 1999 and 2007, raising over 1.4 million dollars for the Gullikson Foundation.

Chuck attended Carson Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee, on a tennis scholarship. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in business in 1980.
