Located just west of Portland, Pacific is one of the finest institutions of education in the northwest and is the perfect spot for this summer tennis camp.

Directing this camp is Brian Jackson, Pacific University Head Men's Tennis Coach. Brian is in his third year as Head Coach at Pacific.

After a successful high school career, Brian played four years of Division I tennis at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. He was the teams captain in 1996-97 and was selected as the team's most valuable player.

Upon graduation from UNC-Wilmington, Brian spent two years as an Assistant Men's & Women's Tennis Coach at East Carolina University while pursuing his Master's in Exercise & Sport Sciences. He moved on to the Atlantic Coast Athletic Club in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he served four years as a tennis instructor and fitness specialist.

Coach Jackson has a Ph.D. in Kinesiology, specializing in Motor Learning and Sport Psychology from the University of Virginia, and is a certified tennis professional (USPTA). In addition to his coaching duties, Brian has been a professor of exercise science at Pacific since 2004.
