Many people know that I began my professional career working as a tennis coach on the traditional tennis courses at the Sports Institute of Finland in Vierumäki, as well as with various tennis clubs in the early 2000s (including Grani Tennis in Kauniainen, Espoon Tennis-78, and Tapiolan Tennis). In addition, I have run my own tennis school in Helsinki.
In competitive tennis, I reached a level close to the national elite in Finland and competed successfully in the national A class. My highest national ranking was approximately between 70 and 80.
In recent years, I have competed in padel at a level close to the national elite as well. At the time of writing (6 February 2026), I am still competing in the national A category (among the top 60 players), and my highest national ranking has been around 35.
