"I worked with Tony in the corporate world for nearly 20 yrs and I knew he was an avid pickleball player who had won several tournaments. However, I had no idea he was also an accomplished teaching professional. Having come from an All-American Honors tennis background, I learned that he had extensive coaching experience with tennis and has been now teaching pickleball. I've taken a few lessons when I am in the area and the experiences have been a ton of fun. He definitely knows his stuff, although I'm not sure if I am going to ever be good enough to give him a challenge on the court. Regardless, he has opened up my eyes to a whole new world of excitement, exercise and socializing opportunities that I never knew existed. Thank you Tony
