Tennis has been a lifelong passion for me, but about three years ago, the magnetic allure of pickleball caught my attention. Intrigued and motivated to spread my love for this sport, I pursued PPR certification and embarked on a teaching journey that has now spanned over a year. My teaching endeavors have seen me conducting numerous classes, reaching out to hundreds of players at various levels of expertise, all within the welcoming environment of the YMCA. Pickleball is more than a game; it's a community, a vibrant connection of enthusiasts coming together to enjoy the thrill of the sport. As a dedicated instructor, my mission is to share this excitement and the skills that make the game enjoyable for players of all backgrounds and levels.

"Meeting Ryan and giving myself a chance to learn the right way through his teaching is one of the smartest things I’ve done this year along my “learn how to play golf” journey. I’m a late starter at 39 having never really taken golf seriously before, I had initial apprehensions about lessons, thinking I wasn’t ready for them, not having what I thought was a strong foundation. Ryan does an amazing job of giving his students a point of reference with every lesson alleviating any “is this right for me” apprehension and making form and technique resonate. While I have a long way to go (again, only 5 months in) I’m confident enough to go out for a round when I can, to start working on grass. Every lesson has brought and continues to bring significant progress and increased opportunity. Thank you sir, Pretty life changing; I’m grateful for your teaching and guidance.
