About Kevin

Hello! My name is Kevin, and I’m a fun, local Los Angeles pickleball coach with over 20 years of playing and teaching experience in both pickleball and tennis. I started playing tennis at Griffith Park at age eight and went on to play varsity tennis for four years at Marshall High School, winning four Adult League California Sectionals and two national titles. Throughout my coaching career, I’ve worked with numerous college players at top universities like USC and UCLA and hold a PTR certification for teaching kids. I currently run various clinics, including afterschool pickleball sessions for kids (ages 9-15) and Sunday tennis programs in San Gabriel, where I balance clinics with match play. As a Senior PPA Pickleball Gold Medalist, I’m passionate about growing the sport. I offer beginner clinics focused on DUPR ratings, host events at private and indoor facilities, and create a fun learning environment for all levels. Whether you’re new to pickleball or looking to elevate your game, I’d love to help you improve and enjoy the sport!
