Nate Chura is an American writer, journalist, director, and former elite tennis pro.
A native of Windham, NY, he graduated from the New York State Theatre Institute in Troy, NY in 1996 and received a BFA in theater from Emerson College in 2001.
Chura got his first break as a journalist in 2008, when he wrote a bombshell feature for Tennis Week Magazine called "Love Means Nothing in Women's Tennis," that exposed an oversight in the WTA's pension policy that was finally resolved in 2019, when the WTA agreed to pay $1.25 million over five years to create a Legacy Fund. The story led to a stint as an arts and culture reporter for NPR member station WNYC Radio (from 2009-2012.)
From 2008-2015, Chura was also a contributor editor at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
In 2015, Chura published his first novel The Man in the Barn: Digging Up Lincoln’s Killer (New Memphis Press) inspired by a group of researchers he met at The Players Club (the nation's oldest private theater club located on Gramercy Park in New York.)
In June of 2024, Chura stepped down from his long-term position as director of entertainment and head tennis professional at The Heights Casino for personal reasons.
