In 2017, Williams founded Pat’s Tennis Aces, which is a full-service tennis management company that has helped grow the sport of tennis within some of the most well-known properties in the Triad, including the Grandover Resort. With his work as the CEO and founder, Williams’ organization has worked closely with GRETA and RCTA (two local USTA Community Tennis Associations) to provide tennis outreach programs and clinics for the Guilford and Rockingham County areas.
During his time as a student-athlete at Greensboro College, Williams was a member of the men’s basketball and men’s tennis teams where he was named to the Dixie Intercollegiate Conference (USA South) All-Academic team. In addition, Williams was inducted into the Greensboro College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006 as a member of the 1993-1994 men’s basketball team, while also being inducted into the Union Pine High School Hall of Fame for winning the 1991 N.C. tennis state championship.
