I am a certified Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) coach. PPR is the official education and certification partner of USA Pickleball, which is the national governing body for pickleball in the U.S. I have a current DUPR rating of 4.34 and it continues to go up. I routinely play in tournaments at the 4.0+ level and have won gold medals in both men's doubles and mixed doubles. Previously, I was a tennis coach for the men's and women's teams at a Division 3 university. My passion is to help players of all ages from kids to adults to seniors, and all levels from beginner to intermediate to advanced, to increase their skills in playing the fastest growing sport in America.
