About your pickleball coach
I've won 5 National Gold Medals in singles, mixed, and men's pickleball events and hold an IPTPA Level 2 certification. With over 11 years of experience and a strong passion for the sport, I'd love to share my knowledge with you. I'm dedicated to teaching the fundamentals, clarifying the rules, and helping you see real improvement in your game, even after just one lesson.

I had the privilege of being coached by Dean in pickleball, and I must say he is truly exceptional. Dean's talent on the court is evident, but what sets him apart is his coaching prowess. His ability to break down techniques, provide constructive feedback, and motivate players is remarkable. Dean not only refines your skills but also serves as a mentor, fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment. I highly recommend Dean for anyone seeking a skilled and inspiring pickleball coach.

Dean is great! Dean’s extensive knowledge of PB lends to his coaching style. He is calm, patient and easy & fun to work with. His ability to break down each shot, repetition in practice, listening to what I’d like extra instruction on, and stressing the importance of drills have all helped me improve my skills and performance in games. Thanks, Dean!
