COACHING BIO
Before arriving in Middletown, Bookman spent two seasons as an assistant for Messiah's men's and women's tennis programs after a four-year playing career for the Falcons that included three Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Commonwealth All-Conference honors.

During his two seasons as an assistant under Messiah head coach Jon Arosell, Bookman helped lead Messiah's men's and women's squads to back-to-back MAC Commonwealth Championship Tournaments in 2022 and 2023, respectively. He also helped guide Chase Wilson to MAC Commonwealth Men's Tennis Rookie of the Year honors in 2022. While coaching, he served as a graduate assistant for Messiah's Athletic Communications department.  

As a player, Bookman earned MAC Commonwealth All-Conference First-Team recognition as a senior in 2021 after garnering second-team all-conference honors in 2019 and an all-conference honorable mention nod as a freshman in 2018.  

Bookman graduated from Messiah with a master's degree in intercollegiate athletic leadership in 2023 after earning his bachelor's degree from his alma mater in sport management two years earlier. 

Bookman succeeds former head coach Becky Cecere as just the second head coach in modern program history.
