I have lived in Redding for over 20 years and raised my family here. I am a sports medicine doctor at Shasta Orthopaedic, a certified Level 2 professional tennis coach through Racquet Sports Professional Association (RSPA), and an official ITF tennis physician. I am also an Associate Professor of UC Davis and teach medical residents and students in my clinic as well as at Mercy Hospital. I have 3 children, oldest, Karina is now at USC who was formally a nationally ranked tennis player, and my two younger children, Karissa and Kaleo are both currently nationally ranked tennis players too (Karissa a Blue Chip, top 25 in country, and Kaleo is a 4 star top 150 in the country). My wife is a 4.5 USTA rated tennis player who just competed in the 9.0 women’s and mix doubles nationals championship. I am an active member, speaker with RSPA, American Medical Tennis Association, and Society for tennis Medicine and Science. I routinely treat tennis players from USTA, WTA, ATP, ITF events and I also travel overseas to consult for Taiwan’s tennis national team.

Karissa Chang, ICL ’28
Karissa Chang is currently in high school at ICL Academy class of 2028. After volunteering at the ACEing Autism program in Elk Grove, and seeing the incredible difference she was able to make in the lives of players and parents, she decided to help start a program in her own city. Karissa is taking over the role of older sister Karina who was the program director for the last two years. Karissa is a honor student, Blue Chip (top 25 nationally) tennis player, and a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She loves to sew/design clothes and crochet animals to bless at risk youth in Redding.
