A part of the Vikings' program since 2023 -- first as a player, then as a volunteer asistant coach -- Kristian Peev stepped up as interim head coach of the program in the fall of 2026.

Peev has been part of the Portland tennis scene since his prep days. A native of Beaverton, Ore., Peev had a standout high school career at Valley Catholic, winning the OSAA 4A state championship in 2019 and finishing as runner-up in 2018.

He went on to play at Lewis & Clark College from 2019-23 where he earned three all-conference honors. He finished his playing career at Portland State, competing during the 2023–24 season while pursuing his master’s degree. Peev was 2-1 in his three doubles appearances for the Vikings during the 2024 dual season. 

Peev has also served as an assistant tennis instructor at the Multnomah Athletic Club since 2021. Additionally, he served as an assistant coach at Lincoln High School from 2022-24.
