When I picked up a paddle just 2.5 years ago, I had zero athletic background. No tennis, no racquetball, nothing. It was just me, a paddle, and the curiosity to see what this “pickleball game” was all about. Fast forward to today, and I’m now a 5.0+ DUPR rated player who has medaled in 14 out of 15 tournaments, including the PPA Tour. My most recent win was achieving gold at the 5.0 level. What sets me apart isn’t just the wins—it’s how I got there. I broke my left hand three years ago (yep, the one I use for everything), so I taught myself to play right handed. The result? I became a true two sides of the court player with a special knack for left side dominant play. Combine that with my experience partnering with left handed players, and I can give you unique strategies for lefty/righty pairings that most coaches are not aware of and never even considered. What I Specialize In: * Tournament Prep & Strategy – Building confidence through mental game prep, match tactics, and step-by-step planning. * Aggressive Topspin 3rd Shot Drops – Turning defense into offense is my bread and butter. Getting to the kitchen after the serve is my specialty * Two Handed Cross Court Dinks – Achieving consistency while adding aggressive top spin. * Left Side Domination & Partner Play – Maximizing strengths in duos with unique strategy. Especially powerful with lefty/righty duos. Why Work With Me? I know what it’s like to start from scratch and grind it out. I’ve built my game shot by shot, drill by drill, laugh by laugh. Now, I’m ready to share that journey with players of all levels—whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or gearing up for your next gold medal run. Pickleball is competitive, yes—but it’s also fun. With me, you’ll learn the strategies, level up your skills, and maybe even laugh at my bad jokes while doing it.

I would love to share my understanding of music and the many useful techniques that can make your music sound even more elegant. I will also introduce music theory knowledge based on the level of pieces you are playing, to make harder pieces easier to tackle. A typical lesson would involve warming up with scales, playing music pieces of your preference, learning tips to polish your performance, and learning music theory. My goal is for you to enjoy music like I do, and build strong foundations to master difficult piano pieces!
