Hi, I’m Travis! I discovered pickleball about a year ago and quickly fell in love with the game. Since then, I’ve dedicated hours to improving my skills through competitive play, tournaments, and studying strategy. Before pickleball, I played soccer, which taught me the importance of footwork, court awareness, teamwork, and strategy—skills that have translated directly to pickleball. I look forward to helping you reach your pickleball goals. Let’s get on the court and have some fun!

I have worked on both the analytical and coaching sides of soccer, plus personal training with youth. As a Scout Analyst for SDSU I broke down opponent film and data (using Hudl/Wyscout) into clear insights for coaching staff. As a camp instructor for KU, SDSU, Nike, Vahid, and Elite IQ, I have coached youth aspiring D1 athletes on fundamentals like passing and ball control. I have also worked closely with athletes on body mechanics, helping build proper movement patterns to reduce injury risk.

"“Malachi is an incredible teacher! What I have loved most is how he sets a solid foundation for me to be successful-teaching music theory, providing resources to learn more and practice what is taught, advising me to take notes, and being attentive to know what I need work on. He is knowledgeable and teaches in a way that is easy to understand. He's a teacher who cheers students on and reminds us we'll be who we envision ourselves as. He emphasizes that music is more than just playing notes. 100% recommend him as a teacher!”
