Pickleball lessons near me in Orange, CT

Bio: With over a decade of experience as the Director of Racquets at The Tennis & Fitness Center of Rocky Hill and history as the Director of Tennis at Weston Racquet Club, my journey in tennis and pickleball has been quite the adventure. Certified by USPTA, PTR, MTM, USTA High Performance & Mental Skills, and IPTPA for pickleball, I've immersed myself in the world of racquet sports. My tennis journey started in college, playing for the University of Connecticut, where I earned a B.S. in Sports Science with a concentration in Sports Marketing. But my story doesn't end on the tennis court. I'm a 3X Guinness World Records™ titleholder for the Longest Tennis Rally, Volley Rally, & longest pickleball rally, using these feats as charity fundraisers. My commitment to sportsmanship earned me the USTA Sportsmanship Award in 2005, and I've continued to give back, receiving the 2016 USPTA Lessons for Life Award for raising over $110,000 for Save the Children. As the USTA Connecticut President from 2018 to 2020, I've been shaping the tennis landscape with my philosophy of the "4 Gs": Get a Dream, Goal Set, Goal Get, and Give Back. Join me on and off the court for an inspiring journey filled with passion, records, and a deep love for the game.
