Stumpf has spent the past decade as a strong leader of the Hill Murray High School boys tennis program and North Senior High School girls tennis program in addition to five years directing the youth indoor tennis program for the City of Oakdale, Minn. Both high school programs have established programs under Stumpf that compete well against both conference and section opponents.
As a player, Stumpf was a four-year letter winner and former top singles player at Hill Murray. Stumpf was a key player in winning their conference championship two of the four years he played. In addition to being a ranked player during his junior playing days, Stumpf anchored the No. 4 singles and No. 2 doubles position for Creighton University during his tenure.
