I’m a former math teacher and former tech exec turned pickleball enthusiast. Over the last couple of years, I’ve invested a massive amount of time studying the sport and breaking it down into its foundational pieces in order to teach myself how to excel at the game. In that time, I’ve gone from an absolute beginner to an advanced level player - I play at the 4.5+ level, I’ve won multiple medals in tournaments, and I’ve earned a Professional Coach certificate through PPR. In addition to independent coaching, I am also the lead pickleball coach at Bay Club Redwood Shores & Broadway. I am truly energized by teaching others everything I've learned about this sport. As a former math teacher and Harvard alum, I take an academic approach to coaching: lessons are planned in advance, skills are broken down into steps, there are opportunities to practice and make mistakes, and I provide written notes and videos post-lesson to solidify your learning. As a former tech leader, my coaching involves giving direct and timely feedback, relying on first principles to guide lessons, and adapting quickly to optimize your learning. Thank you for considering me and I hope to see you on the courts soon!

"We just had our first pickleball class with Tom and it was fantastic! He’s an incredibly patient and energetic coach who makes learning the game both fun and approachable. Tom broke down all the basics, from proper grip and footwork to serving and scoring, in a way that made everything click right away. What really stood out was his attention to each player’s progress; he offered personalized tips without ever making it feel overwhelming. His enthusiasm for the sport is contagious, and we left the session not only better players but genuinely excited to keep practicing. If you’re new to pickleball or just want a coach who brings great teaching energy and positivity, I can’t recommend Tom enough. Can’t wait for the next class!
