With six years of personal pickleball experience and a Level 1 PPR Pickleball Coaching certification coupled with experience as a junior high school pickleball coach, I offer tailored coaching for all skill levels. My ideal student(s) is one who is looking to "level up" their game. I offer one on one instructions or group of all age and skill levels. I utilize a Titan One ball machine for hitting sessions and also offer video recording of drill sessions with Ai shot analytics using the Swing Vision platform. A very popular program is 3 (or 4) and Me where I either watch and critique your match play in real time or even mix in during play to get advanced game strategies offered and critiqued. Please reach out to discuss options.

I’m a professional musician specializing in rock and blues since 1975. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by music—recording eleven rock and roll albums in Brazil and performing as a supporting act for legendary bands like Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, and Nazareth. I’ve also played in festivals alongside artists like Faith No More and other prominent American and British bands. Now at 60, I’ve moved to Florida to enjoy this next chapter of life with grace. But music remains a big part of who I am, and I feel it’s time to pass on my legacy to the next generation. I have two kids, aged 12 and 14, who already play multiple instruments and sing. I’ve been giving private lessons here in Jacksonville, though my reach has been limited—and I’d love the chance to expand. I grew up in a studio; my father was a bluesman in New Orleans and played several instruments himself. Music runs deep in my family, and I'm passionate about sharing everything I’ve learned over the years.

I truly couldn’t have done it without her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing tutor!
