As an instructor at four different locations, I am deeply immersed in the vibrant world of pickleball, catering to players of all ages and skill levels. One of my latest ventures includes spearheading the introduction of pickleball at a brand-new indoor tennis location, boasting an impressive potential of 24 pickleball courts. Here, I facilitate both children and adult programs, nurturing the growth of pickleball enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds. With nearly a year of experience at my second-largest location, equipped with 14 indoor courts, I specialize in corporate functions catering to groups ranging from 50 to 200 people. This dynamic setting allows me to foster teamwork, camaraderie, and skill development among participants, making each event memorable and impactful. In addition to my roles at these locations, I proudly serve as the top pickleball instructor for DC Park Recreational, contributing to the growth and accessibility of pickleball within the community. Through private lessons, clinics, and participation in tournaments, I engage with a wide spectrum of players, conservatively interacting with over 300 individuals each week. With a passion for pickleball and a commitment to fostering its growth, I am dedicated to providing exceptional instruction and fostering a welcoming environment where players can thrive and excel.
