Director of Athletics Kris Swogger announced the promotion of Daniel Finn as Director of Tennis and Head Women's Tennis Coach on Friday afternoon.

"I am excited to announce Coach Finn as our Director of Tennis," said Swogger. "Daniel has done a tremendous job coaching both our women's and men's team over the last 8 seasons, and has elevated our tennis program to an elite level. His teams excel both on and off the court, and in his new role he will be able to continue to coach while also serving as a mentor to the tennis staff. There are great things in the future for Keiser Tennis."

Finn enters his ninth year at Keiser. He was the Head Coach of the Men's and Women's teams in his previous role.

"I am excited and grateful for this opportunity and promotion," Finn said. "I want to say thank you to Kris Swogger and Dr. Gary Vonk for entrusting me and for their continuing support for myself and both the women's and men's tennis programs. Being able to put all my focus and energy into one program as the head coach is a dream for almost all coaches. Over the past 8 years, it has been a privilege to see what the programs have become and I'm excited to focus my attention to the women's program's success while being entrusted with helping mentor the next men's coach to continue to evolve the program. I am confident that both programs will greatly benefit from this transition, and only bigger and better things are in store for these already storied programs."
