Bio: Former goalkeeper for the Austin Aztex U23 and D2 player in the AMSA. 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.

Bio: As a dedicated pickleball player with nearly three years of intensive experience in the sport, I bring a unique blend of athletic expertise and coaching excellence to every lesson. My journey into pickleball has been accelerated by an extensive background as a professional volleyball player, where I developed elite-level court awareness, strategic thinking, and the ability to read opponents' movements and intentions. My coaching credentials span over five years as a professional coach across multiple racquet and paddle sports, including tennis, squash, and table tennis. This diverse coaching experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of different playing styles, grip techniques, and the biomechanics that translate across racquet sports. Additionally, my decade-plus experience as a competitive tennis player gives me deep insight into shot selection, court positioning, and the mental aspects of racquet sport competition that directly enhance pickleball performance. Beyond racquet sports, my background as a professional ski instructor has refined my ability to break down complex movements into teachable progressions, communicate technical concepts clearly to students of all skill levels, and maintain safety while pushing performance boundaries. This experience has been invaluable in teaching the nuanced footwork, balance, and body positioning that are crucial for advanced pickleball play. I am passionate about helping players at every level unlock their potential through technical mastery and strategic understanding. My approach combines the precision and power development from my volleyball background, the tactical sophistication from tennis, the quick reflexes and touch from table tennis, and the movement efficiency from skiing instruction. Whether you're looking to master the fundamentals or compete at tournament level, I'm committed to providing personalized coaching that accelerates your pickleball journey.
