These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.



With a journey in tennis that began at age 10 and a current 4.0 UTR rating, my dedication to the sport has never waned. Now at 58, I'm playing the finest tennis of my life, having clinched my first tournament win at 35. Every morning, I commit two hours to honing my skills with targeted drills alongside a fellow tennis enthusiast. Since embarking on my coaching journey in 2023, I bring a deep-seated passion for the game to every lesson. My goal? To inspire and play until I reach a century on the court! :)

I'm a native Floridian who traded golf clubs and tennis rackets for the exhilarating world of pickleball in 2020. Since then, I've become a certified instructor with Pickleball Coaching International and DUPR sharing my passion of the game through teaching over 300 clinics and private lessons. My teaching philosophy is simple – tailor the learning experience to each individual, focusing on fundamentals, drills, and tactical insights. I take pride in helping my students achieve their specific goals efficiently and effectively. I am an ambassador for several pickleball companies and have several varieties of paddles for my students to demo during our time together. Let's embark on a pickleball journey together, where learning meets fun, and victories follow every well-played point!
