I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with experience competing regularly in tournaments. I play nearly every day and am deeply connected to the local pickleball community, particularly in the Arlington area.

From an early age, I tuned into the enchanting sound of the guitar in music, setting the stage for a lifelong love affair with strings. In the 5th grade, I delved into the world of classical guitar, laying the groundwork for my musical journey. High school offered a two-year guitar course, complemented by private lessons that further shaped my skills. My musical inspiration came alive through rock legends like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and RHCP, influencing my playing style profoundly. Venturing into fingerstyle guitar on acoustic, I expanded my repertoire to include pop songs. Currently, I thrive as a band member and delve into solo projects, all while finding joy in teaching and collaborative musical experiences. Join me on this musical journey, where the love for guitar transcends genres, and the pleasure of playing is shared with others!

I played in national tournaments for 5 years and have 4 years of sports coaching experience. I love working with all age groups and am passionate about helping others improve their skills and enjoy the game.

"Henry's lesson was quite helpful, especially since we focused on one specific point each time and I saw real progress through consistent practice. Though I’m still working on some aspects, the structured approach made a notable difference. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing how much I can improve with continued effort, and I'd say it’s worth giving him a try if you want a steady, no-pressure style.
