Whether he is surrounded by sandy beaches and an ocean breeze, or brisk mountain air and miles of pine forests, Carlos Longhi Neto does not find solace in places. He finds it in people.
The Brazilian native found a home in Idaho, surrounded by friends from his childhood. However, his new family of fellow tennis players did not come about coincidentally.
Longhi Neto was first introduced to tennis at the age of eight. His father owned a car dealership for most of Longhi Neto’s childhood. Poor decisions and financial troubles drove his father away from the business.
