Carter
I have been playing pickleball since early 2022 and received my PPR Associate Coach certification in June of 2023. Positive feedback from students reflect that I have a knack for easily explaining the rules of the game and can teach technique to beginners and intermediates in a fun and informative way. I have prior teaching experience in dance and gymnastics as a young adult. I have trained extensively at camps and clinics lead by numerous instructors and Pros, including Tyson McGuffin, Susannah Barr, Zac Taylor Lisa & Wayne Dollard, and Bobby Phoumy. Pickleball fondly reminds me of my younger days playing badminton and ping pong. I really enjoy sharing valuable information to inspire others to learn and find happiness in mastering this super fun sport for all ages. I have recently received an additional PPR certification, specializing in pickleball youth development geared for students age 6 through teens.

I’ve been deeply involved in baseball for 18 years, playing alongside my three brothers, all of whom competed at the collegiate level. I was honored to be selected for the USA Northern California regional team and played for the nationally ranked Zoots Baseball program. In high school, I earned First Team All-League honors, and I went on to become a two-way player at Pomona-Pitzer, where I helped lead our team to its first-ever NCAA Division III World Series appearance. Now a Pomona-Pitzer graduate, I’m passionate about giving back to the game by teaching, mentoring, and helping grow the next generation of players—both on and off the field.

My journey as a professional musician ignited my passion for teaching guitar. For 25 years, I've guided aspiring guitarists, sharing my knowledge and experience to help them reach their full potential.

I will help you unlock your musical intution/creativity and give you creative ways to practice and learn songs , solos etc . I will also teach you ways to track your progress. I believe playing and learning music should be fun, and I make it easier on you to understand certain concepts from a technical, theoretical and practical point of view. I accept beginner to advanced. I can tailor lessons to your needs , the style you want to play, and I can create assignments to help you reach your goals from a professional working musician's perspective. You will find just after a short period how much you can improve your skills and feel the confidence to continue to your goal. My teaching experiences have taken me through schools , clinics at music stores and workshops. I also coach bands , teach beginner to intermediate bass , and music production one on one or group.

"To Whom It May Concern, This letter is submitted in support of Mr. Luciano Franceschini Aires, professionally known as Marano, a distinguished Brazilian music producer, composer, and performer. Mr. Marano's artistic influence extends beyond the studio and stage into meaningful social and community engagement, demonstrating a level of impact and leadership that significantly benefits the field of music and the broader public. A compelling example of this is his involvement in the 2018 cultural initiative at Morro Santa Marta, a historically underserved community in Rio de Janeiro.

Ed is a highly accomplished martial artist with a professional fighting background, having won championships in both Muay Thai and MMA. With a certification as a black belt in four different martial arts, Ed brings a wealth of expertise and discipline to his coaching. His deep understanding of martial arts, combined with his competitive experience, allows him to teach students of all levels the skills and mindset needed to succeed in combat sports.
"I was tentative at first to take up Muay Thai because it seemed like most fighters were "a-holes" full of bravado but after meeting Ed I totally changed my mind! I'm not an "alpha-male" by any means but wanted to take up a physically challenging workout and self-defense system. This is it! Also, it may see expensive but then again, what is your health, safety, and peace of mind worth?
