Board MemberBiographical Info
Mehdi is Creekside Tennis and Swim Club’s director of operations. As such, he oversees the implementation and execution of the club’s vision and mission. He also oversees the club’s many tennis programs and world-class coaches.
Mehdi was born in Paris, France, and was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was there that he attended college and majored in Journalism, a path that led him to the United States working with a daily newspaper for 13 years. In 2023, he, wife Britt and daughter Mia moved from Atlanta back to the Lowcountry, after spending three years in the peach state as Director of Racquet Sports for Midtown Athletic Clubs.
Mehdi brings 15 years of racquet sports and management leadership to Creekside and plans on bringing this beautiful club to a next level of service, instruction, and programming. Mehdi continues to stay active within the local, regional, and national tennis communities via his associations with LYTA, USTA, USPTA and the Wilson Tennis Advisory board. He and his wife also founded and operate Karevoyance, a racquet sports consulting firm.
He summarizes his approach to three simple core values: Care, Performance, and Impact.
