I’m big on fundamentals, proper technique, and injury-prevention, and I’ll make sure you leave every session feeling more skilled, more confident, and more in love with pickleball than when you arrived.

I focus on simple, clear instruction that players can instantly apply, and I tailor every session to how you learn.
