Born and raised in San Diego, California, basketball has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I come from a family of athletes—my brother and sister both played Division I basketball, and I was fortunate to follow a similar path. I earned a basketball scholarship to Boise State, where I competed at the collegiate level and continued to develop my game. After college, I had the opportunity to participate in several NBA tryouts, which opened the door for me to continue my career playing professionally overseas. Those experiences deepened my understanding of the game and gave me a global perspective on basketball. Now, my passion lies in teaching and developing players. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping athletes improve and watching their skills grow, both on and off the court. Basketball gave me so much, and I’m dedicated to passing that on to the next generation.

I truly hope I can teach many young kids the ethics of basketball and how it’s good for your heart, mind, and body.

"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
