With over five years of experience playing and coaching pickleball, I’ve developed a deep passion for helping others improve their game. I compete in national tournaments, including on the APP Next Gen tour as well as playing as a member of the STL Shock Minor League program, and I’m proud to be a Selkirk-sponsored athlete.

I’ve been taking lessons with Joshua for months now and I don’t plan to stop. He’s been patient and accommodating. Every week there’s one or two things that I want to work on and he’s great at giving me drills and tips to improve them.

I’ve come from a tennis background and wanted to get into pickleball. A couple friends and myself took group lessons with Josh and absolutely loved it! We went through the rules, some drills, and were able to apply it in a game that first lesson. We’ve taken several lessons and have seen a huge improvement in our game. I even got my 2 daughters to join me for a lesson. 10/10

I had tryouts for my local club coming up. I reached out to Josh and he was able to help me prepare! He took me through all the basics and we were able to build on those in the following lessons. I made the team so I definitely would recommend!

We had family coming into town and wanted to do a big pickleball outing with all the kids and grandkids. Josh was a massive help. He set everything up for us. He taught those who didn’t know how to play and helped keep the kids engaged as well. We had a great time with him
