I'm an ambassador for Six Zero Pickleball and currently a 4.5 DUPR rated player. My tennis, ping pong, and badminton backgrounds have helped me transition into pickleball rather easily. (I guess it's a "racquet sports" thing) I primarily play at Plummer Family Park in Edwardsville, IL and the Rally Club indoor facility in Glen Carbon, IL where I'm a member. I also play in a handful of tournaments each year where I've been fortunate enough to typically medal in those tournaments. I enjoy helping people at all levels understand the basic fundamentals of pickleball, explaining strategies and tactics, as well as discussing the pros and cons of different types of equipment you should be using (paddles, shoes, sunglasses, etc).

I bring a strong background in competitive tennis and focus on helping players develop the basics with clean, efficient mechanics, smart shot selection and a good understanding of the game of pickleball. My lessons combine strategy, repetition, and fun — whether you’re new to the game or already competing in tournaments. Let’s take your game to the next level.
"My friends started playing pickleball a while ago but I was injured at that time. I decided to take some lessons to gain basic knowledge of pickleball and get to a beginner level. It helped me a lot because Michael teaches everything with attention to detail and makes it easy to understand.
