I am a former NCAA D2 tennis player and NCCAA D2 basketball player with a deep passion for sports. I have three years of experience as a USTA/NJTL tennis instructor, working with both youth and adult programs. As a PPR Certified Coach with a youth endorsement, I bring my expertise and enthusiasm to the court. I’m also a 4.0 pickleball player, a multiple gold medalist, and a bronze medalist in the 3.5 Men’s Singles at the Pickleball US Open. I love making pickleball fun and accessible to everyone, and I’m excited to help players of all levels improve and enjoy the game!

I loved the clear recap of key skills to improve like returning serves deeper, better forehand drives, and quick pace returns at the NVZ. James keeps the lessons focused and effective. If you want to sharpen your pickleball game with practical tips, his sessions are definitely worth trying. Great pace and solid advice throughout! 👌🎾

My family got interested in Pickleball in the fall of 2023. James provided lessons for all four of us as a group. He had everything we needed as well as paddles to demo. He spent time matching physical skills to certain paddles so we all could enjoy Pickleball the best way possible.

Meet James at the local courts when my wife and I were playing for the first time. He came over and offered some pointers and helped us understand the rules. We went on to take a series of couples lessons from him.

I had played alot of sports growing up and had lot of coaches. Coming into something totally new at 38 years old James made it easy to understand and made things very relatable.
