Having been involved in sports my entire life, I discovered ways to harness my energy and develop as an athlete. I found fulfillment in competitive environments, as my fellow competitors and I shared a common goal: to win. As I matured, my appreciation for new ways to stay active deepened, and I realized that pickleball is truly the ultimate sport for extending one's life. It offers a unique opportunity for growth as a player—competitively, socially, mentally, and physically. Family pickleball activities can also enhance the enjoyment and camaraderie of the sport.

I teach a variety of classes at Pickleball Kingdom designed to help players elevate every aspect of their game. My 3 and Me sessions place me on the court with three players in live match play, where I analyze decision-making in real time and provide targeted feedback on mechanics, positioning, and shot selection. In The Soft Game Blueprint, I focus on drills that teach players how to properly utilize the soft game, emphasizing not only how to execute key shots but also when and why to use them. Additionally, I lead Advanced Pickleball: Technique, Tactics & High-Level Play, where I break down high-level shots, strategies, and patterns used in competitive play, teaching players how to apply them effectively in matches. For those looking to engage in pickleball clinics, our brand-new class called One-on-One Drill Session is perfect; it focuses on high-level drills tailored to each player’s strengths and weaknesses, with an emphasis on applying those skills directly to match play. Beyond instruction, I am actively involved in developing and growing the junior program, along with supporting community outreach initiatives and corporate events, providing family pickleball activities to help connect more people to this exciting sport.
