After nearly being kicked out of my local YMCA facility in for wanting to play basketball, I found myself at a crossroads. In search of a new sport, I stumbled upon pickleball and quickly became hooked. My passion and dedication propelled me through the ranks, and within a year, I reached a 4.0-level tournament player status. My rapid ascent in the sport didn't go unnoticed, and I soon began sharing my knowledge and skills as an instructor. Today, I enjoy helping others discover and excel in the game that changed my life.
