Blair grew up just outside of Ridgely, MD and played in youth tennis camps held at the town's Martin Sutton Park in the 1970s. He later graduated from North Caroline High School, playing varsity tennis all four years. Today, Blair and his wife, Cheryl, enjoy playing in the adult tennis nights in Ridgely, and have enjoyed watching as three of their four children prepared for, and then competed on, high school tennis teams. Blair sees the Caroline Tennis Association as a tool to expand tennis participation locally, and to allow others to experience what he and his family have gained from participation in youth and adult tennis programs.

Jerry grew up in the town of Ridgely. Some town leaders had taken some initiatives to introduce and built some tennis courts at the local park. However, he didn't really play tennis as a youth or in high school. When he was married, his wife had played some tennis so he got a racket and they played at some courts in Federalsburg when they lived there. He enjoyed the sport and entered a couple tournaments later through Caroline County Parks and Recreation. When his daughter made the tennis team in high school he was introduced again. Jerry would play on some of the courts where they vacationed in the summer. When Caroline Tennis was forming he saw the benefits of young kids starting to play for the recreation part and in building a better high school program. He also started playing in the adult tennis nights in Ridgely. He really has enjoyed meeting others that are excited about tennis, especially the youth and have enjoyed the exercise it has provided for him. He has seen how Caroline Tennis has grown in the community and is pleased to be a part of it.
