Former goalkeeper for the Austin Aztex U23 and D2 player in the SLA. I’ve been passionate about racket sports since I was 8 years old. I loved watching and playing tennis, racquetball, table tennis, and badminton. Since discovering pickleball in 2022, I’ve competed in two PPA pro events and still more to come. I enjoy sharing what I understand about the sport with players of all levels. My training and lessons are primarily focused on balancing technique, accuracy, speed, and endurance. The goal is to build knowledge and skills based on your level of play.

I've taken a variety of lessons from Ryan. He has the best combination of drills and systematic approaches I've seen that usually only offered by professional players.

Ryan was very helpful and patient in my first beginners lesson. By the end of the lesson I was able to play an actual point. Thank you Ryan!
