He teamed up with Dan Turbow to win the doubles title at the 1986 National Junior Hardcourts Championships. Between 1987 and 1990 he attended UC Berkeley. He won the NCAA Division I doubles title with Matt Lucena in 1990, along with the Collegiate Championships and National Indoor Championships.[4][5]

In 1990, after graduation, Eisenman turned professional and competed on the Challenger and ATP Tour circuits.
