He is passionate about the game having grown up in Chevy Chase where he captained the tennis team at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School.

Podcast host Andy Ockershausen, Our Town DC, on losing Legendary Our Town News Anchor Jim Vance ~ "We were in the unique position of interviewing Jim before the news broke of his terminal cancer. We shared a glorious hour with Jim Vance, with lots of laughs and a new awareness of his impact on Our Town. We went to his memorial service at the National Cathedral with thousands of others who loved Jim. There will never be another Jim Vance." Janice and Andy Ockershausen,, in studio Our Town DC Podcast Andy Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen, and this is Our Town. It's hard to believe that Season 2 is complete. We've had some great guests over the last 20 weeks. Our Town started with a bang at a launch party at Tony and Joe's on May 23rd. Our guests included Jim Vance. We were in the unique position of interviewing Jim before the news broke of his terminal cancer. We shared a glorious hour with Jim Vance, with lots of laughs and a new awareness of his impact on Our Town. We went to his memorial service at the National Cathedral with thousands of others who loved Jim. There will never be another Jim Vance. During Season 2, we spoke to so many friends, including members of Congress, sports heroes, university presidents, newspaper and magazine publishers, writers, famous attorneys, some unfamous attorneys also, restaurateurs, and community organizers. If you name it, we didn't miss many. We stayed live and lively as much as we could. Some of the names included Chris Plante from WMAL, Tommy McFly from other stations, Connie Morella, a former Congresswoman and a very dear friend of WMAL over the year, Kathleen Matthews, an ex-WMAL and WMAL-TV employee who worked in our newsroom as the erstwhile Kathy Cunningham. How about that? Joe diGenova, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, Pat Collins, a great reporter who's still very active with Channel 4, a very, very dear friend. Mark Ein, the man that put tennis into a proper perspective who had the only championship team in the last like 30 years. His team won the tennis championship five or six years in a row. Mark is a great citizen and a great part of our community. The tennis team has been great. James Brown, old JB, a local guy, Dematha High School. James Brown is an icon in our business and a great friend. Thank you for having him in Our Town regularly. Rick "Doc" Walker, Janice referred to him ... I always thought his middle name was Doc. She has called him Rick "Doc" Walker for years, but he's got that nickname, "Doctor." But Rick is a very, very important part of our lives because of what he's meant to WMAL over the years. Now he's over on the broadcast team for the great Washington Redskins team. Then we've had the pleasure of having the number one announcer, a news guy for Fox, Ed Henry, who was so huge during the election with his reporting. Ed has become a great friend of WMAL. Then last but not least of the big names, I think a big name, the owner of the Washington Post who sold it. Donald Graham sold the Post to Bezos, and Donald started his second life as an entrepreneur and businessman. He's done so well, and he loves Our Town. He thought that by doing it, of selling to Bezos, it would put a new life into the Post. And I'm sure it did. They're doing so well. We've already begun recording for Season 3, and we've got some interesting guests lined up, including Tony Zeiss, president of the new Museum of the Bible, a multi-media, two block building of over 420,000 square feet of exhibit space, costing over $500 million. It's brand new to Our Town. It's opening in mid-November. We also have the opening of the Wharf. The Wharf opened here in September. In a $2 billion effort to redo the Washington downtown, and the Washington Wharf is going to be in our subject. And we're going to talk about it. We'll hear about that in many ways, and one of them is going to be traffic. Traffic is going to be horrendous, but it is anyway,

In the second episode of Down the T, special guest Kirsten Flipkens joins the show to chat about her best friend Kim Clijsters' induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island.

King also discussed World TeamTennis and new ownership under Mark Ein. Music Credit: Lee Rosevere

Mark Ein on Venus Williams after she won a tie breaker to win the championship and Kastles Tennis' second perfect season ~ ". . .she said 'I wasn't just doing it for myself. I was doing it for a team. I was doing it for a city. I was doing it for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back.' She will literally cite that as one of the highlights of her career. For Venus Williams to say that, I think is a great summation of what this can mean to people." Mark Ein (right) and Andy Ockershausen (left) in studio A Ockershausen: This is Andy Ockershausen and this is Our Town and our special guest is Mark Ein. I'm going to tell you a little bit about Mark. As I tell everybody, Mark, Our Town includes Annapolis, PG County, it's Montgomery. It's as far as our signal goes. As you probably know, we have a great signal because once we get up there, it goes all over the world. This is a podcast. Mark was an investor and an entrepreneur. He's built companies over the course of his 22 year young career, but that's another interview. Today, we're here to talk about the man, our neighbor, our friend, the kind of guy who steps up to the plate and bids on lunch with me. Why? I don't know, as an auction prize. A sports enthusiast who has done some pretty creative thinking in the sports arena with Kastles Tennis and the World Team Tennis. He's a philanthropist. He puts his money up, his energy to educate children in the DC area. Mark Ein, welcome to Our Town. Mark Ein: Thanks. That was a really generous introduction and I can't tell you how happy I am to be here with you, Andy. That auction item, I think, was the single best item I've ever bought at a charity auction. I had so much fun. Every year, I wait for that to come up again so I can get it again. A Ockershausen: We're waiting for Shuster. Yeah. We'll come up with something for you. Mark Ein: Good. A Ockershausen: That's a real thing that Eric has started for his school and his mother. It was a teacher in a Special Ed out there, but we love that. We love to be involved. One of the secrets of your success, Mark, and we preach this to everybody, you get involved in the community. You're not just in it for the rewards. You're in it to give. It pays off for you. Mark Ein: I appreciate that. I feel really lucky with the life I've been able to have. I grew up in this area. I grew up in Chevy Chase. A Ockershausen: You're Our Town. On the Giving Culture of Our Town Mark Ein: Yeah. It has been. The opportunity I had to move back here 25 years ago after being in New York and LA and Philly and Boston, all over the place, and coming back, and the opportunities I've had, I feel so fortunate. One of the great things about this community, you talked about Eric Shuster, yourself, but so many people. Part of the culture of this community, I think, is giving back. That's really something that's embedded in the people who make this town move and to me, it's one of the many things that makes this such a wonderful community to be a part of. The Reward A Ockershausen: It's amazing the people in your life and you've grown up with and almost universally, they're givers and they give back, Mark. The more you give, you get back much more than you ever give. Mark Ein: You know, that is a nice bi-product of it. I think that is the way the world worked. It's great that it does. I think when you do it, you have to do it not because you obviously never expect anything to come back, you do it out of genuine care for what you're doing. Frankly, the act of giving is the most rewarding part of it. You don't need anything back. What you get back is that feeling of helping other people, helping organizations that are making a difference, doing something more than just for yourself. I've been blessed as we all have and I'm just happy to be in Our Town. A Ockershausen: No. You made such an impact coming back into Our Town and getting involved, but you give so much through your investment companies ...
