Giovanni Vaglietti saw the photo from 2011 (above) and told ATR: “That is me! Great photos and memories, although the long bleached hair is a thing of the past! (I’m now) back to my natural color and length from many years ago! :)” Among his jobs, he served as CEO of Southern California Youth Rugby and Junior Tennis Director at Coto De Caza Golf and Racket Club.

Dear Aztec Tennis Reporter: Yes, I landed up staying in the U.S. (just became a citizen) after graduating from San Diego State and I did my Masters Degree in Sport Management. I am currently Executive Director for USA Youth and High School Rugby.

Roxanne Ellison

I married Roxanne Ellison in 2014. As I am sure you remember, Roxanne played on the women’s team around the same time. We are living in Orange County, California and have two kids, Siena (3) and Capri (1). Not too much tennis, I play just a couple of times a year in some events at our local club. My competitive outlet is now golf! I have recently started playing for our local club in SCGA leagues and tournaments.
