He played a key role with the 2010-11 Coastal Carolina team that won the Big South Conference championship with a 28-6 overall record and 16-2 mark in league play.

Lewis spent two seasons at his alma mater - the University of Florida - from 2008 to 2010. He assisted with the Men's Basketball program and assumed lead duties for the men's and women's tennis and golf programs during that time.

In 2010, the Florida women's tennis team swept both the SEC regular-season and tournament titles. Lewis earned cum laude honors from Florida with a bachelor's degree in applied physiology and kinesiology in 2008. One year later, he received his master's degree from Florida in human performance.

In addition to being a certified TPI Fitness instructor and a certified Level II TPI Golf Fitness Instructor, he also is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and a United States Weightlifting (USAW) sports performance certified coach. Lewis is a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Dance.

He is single and lives in Pearland.
