Just a fellow pickleball addict that fell in love with the fastest growing sport! With my ping pong background I've grasped the sport and picked it up quickly bringing me to a 4.0 level in less than a year. Playing in cross club 4.0 league to continue learning and improving my skills has propelled me to my next chapter of joining a 4.5 division team this coming season just shy of 2 years into this sport. I'm a student of the game but have been helping many people along the way and the world would just be better with more people playing this game! Looking forward to challenging you physically and mentally while having a lot of fun together!

"I’ve been taking lessons with Justin for about a year now, and I can’t recommend him enough. I came into pickleball with absolutely no sports background, and thanks to his coaching, I’ve worked my way up to playing at a 4.0 level. One of the things I appreciate most is how good Justin is at spotting the little technical details that make a huge difference. For example, something like hitting the ball as it’s coming down from the apex or making a small adjustment to my footwork or paddle position, he’s able to catch things I would never notice on my own. His explanations are simple, easy to understand, and actually stick. He’s patient, encouraging, and always knows how to break things down in a way that builds confidence instead of making you feel overwhelmed. Every lesson feels productive, and I always leave with something new that makes my game better. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely excited for you to get better, Justin is an amazing coach.

My main focus is on well rounded development with the idea that as we begin to fully develop as players the game starts to slow down and our quality of play increases. That’s when we can start to see the victories. You will only get from this game the efforts you’re willing to put into it.
