Hello my name is Anthony and I am a PPR Certified Pickleball Coach! I got into pickleball last year and took to it fast, thanks to my tennis playing and coaching background.

I believe in positive reinforcement and keeping things educational, yet fun. I can help with your technical skills and tactics.

"I’ve found David’s lessons very helpful, mainly because of his ability to quickly provide tips that actually made a difference right away. His focus on actionable advice and recommended drills for at-home and outside-the-lesson encourages me to keep practicing outside the lesson and allows me to grow on my own. Amazing overall and definitely worth booking if you're aiming to refine your golf with someone who is truly effective.

"Thomas is a very knowledgeable teacher and taught me how to properly play the guitar. He taught me how to play chords and do basic soloing. It was hard for me to try to find people who would be able to break down the theory behind how everything works and all of the songs and techniques all connect with each other. Thomas was able to do this for me.

"“As I am sitting here listening to my son Jordan playing guitar and to hear how good he is and the things he can do on it just amazes me!!! I can remember he picked up one of my guitars a few years ago. There is one person that I need to thank and that is Mitchell Truen for taking Jordan under his wing and keeping him going and teaching him and explaining what the guitar is all about. So Mitch, for that, I thank you and because of you, Jordan’s guitar has become part of him and he is never without it, Just like you told him, he is going to be something special to music some day and right now to me he already is. If you are interested in studying guitar, I highly recommend anybody’s kids, as well as adults, to look Mitch up, you won’t be disappointed.” Rick &Jordan Ogden
