Pickleball enthusiast for six years and PPR and DUPR certified coach. Over the past three years I’ve taught hundreds of courses and thousands of students from beginners to high-intermediates. I coach at multiple facilities and privately throughout the Twin Cites - Including Bloomington and Hopkins Community Ed programs, SOAR, Hopkins Activity Center, Bloomington and Hopkins Elementary Schools, Legacy Pickleball and more. My philosophy is to ensure students enjoy a fun and engaging atmosphere while building their skills, mechanics, techniques and strategies through hands-on development and entertaining games. A willing to learn and big smiles are a requirement!

I'm a lifelong musician and music lover who started playing cello in 1977. My background includes classical training and performances, as well as rock bands, arranging popular songs for solo and band shows, and writing my own parts for original music. I also write and produce music in Reaper, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. I enjoy helping students learn to arrange and play music that inspires them, and I include appropriate music theory, ear training, and analysis in the lessons.
