Today's featured Luxilon stringer is

Stewart Allright

Stewart is from Hobart, Tasmania where he lives (at least for most of the year) with wife Simonne and two children Samantha (6) and Lucy (3). Stewart spends about 10 weeks a year traveling with the pro tour and doing what he likes best - custom stringing.

Stewart started stringing when he could not find a competent stringer for his squash racquets. "I absolutely love this job!" he says with obvious passion. "I just can't imagine doing anything else."

When at home in Tasmania, he helps Simonne run their own stringing and tennis equipment business - Stringlab. You can find them on the web at http://www.stringlab.com.
