Biography

Vincent Wade

Vincent Wade is a self-made entrepreneur who brings a wealth of strategic and financial expertise to the Sandhills Tennis Foundation Board of Directors. After serving as a combat engineer in the United States Army, Vincent built his business career from the ground up.

In 2004, he founded Pinehurst Coins, rapidly scaling the company and successfully navigating its acquisition by the publicly traded Gold.com in 2005. A recognized leader in his field, Vincent has been nominated multiple times as one of the top 100 most influential people in numismatics.

He also brings vital governance experience to the foundation, having previously served on the Board of Directors for the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG). While his professional roots are in enterprise and finance, Vincent's true passion is uplifting underprivileged communities.

He was drawn to the Sandhills Tennis Foundation not by a background in the sport, but by a deep alignment with the organization's vision: to create a vibrant, inclusive environment where wellness, personal growth, and meaningful connections are accessible to everyone.

As a board member focused on general strategy and financing, Vincent leverages his entrepreneurial background to champion the foundation's core values of stewardship, accountability, and integrity. He is dedicated to ensuring resources are maximized so the foundation can continue to empower the Sandhills community and expand its inclusive programs for years to come.
