"Derrick is a great golf teacher and all around good human. I was a college athlete who needed a challenge now that I was over 50. I had played golf a few times over the years, but never seriously. I took lessons with Derrick and fell in love with this crazy game of golf. I’m in my second season of consistently playing and see Derrick a few times each year for tune-ups. He always knows how to explain what I need to do to fix my swing or stance. I HIGHLY recommend Derrick if you want to learn golf or just tune-up your skills.
With 14 years of experience learning pickleball from its roots on Bainbridge Island, the birthplace of the sport, I bring a deep understanding of its history and evolution. My journey in pickleball began where the game was invented, allowing me to gain invaluable insights into its foundational strategies and techniques. In addition to my extensive background, I have honed my skills by competing at a collegiate level, where I developed a strong foundation in both individual and team dynamics. As a coach, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping players of all levels improve their game with personalized, effective instruction.
