Hello, I'm Phil. I'm straightforward and unafraid to be real. In pickleball, that means helping you shore up weaknesses and improve technically and strategically as easily and clearly as possible. I believe it's important to know "what" and "how", but also "why". My ideal is environment is one where we can learn something impactful and figure out how to implement it, all without unnecessary pressure. Before pickleball, I played 25 years of tennis and competed on a world class level in a variety of games. Let's get on the court!
"Honestly, I was pretty surprised by how much I picked up in just an hour. The instructor really knows his stuff. He taught me things I hadn’t considered before that I think will make a difference. Maybe more practice on those points would help, time went by so fast! Phil’s approach is quite helpful if you’re serious about improving your pickleball game. Phil is very knowledgeable and can make you improve your game, not only by how you hit the ball but how you position yourself and things you can tactically do to help you win the points. Recommend 10/10.



Creating a joyful learning experience is my mantra. As a dedicated music educator, I cultivate a relaxed environment where making mistakes is part of the journey, and experimentation is encouraged. Students should leave each session feeling confident in themselves and their abilities. My educational journey, from studying Bel Canto operatic singing at Queensborough Community College to exploring diverse styles at Berklee College of Music, has equipped me to offer students a comprehensive foundation to sing any song in any style. Join me in discovering the joy of singing while building a solid musical skill set that lasts a lifetime. For more examples of my singing and to get to know me more, feel free to listen to my music and hear me on social media.
