About your pickleball coach

As a former USPTA teaching professional, I bring proven coaching expertise to the fast changing world of pickleball. My teaching philosophy centers on meeting each student exactly where they are—whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to add a 3rd shot DRIP or backhand flick to your arsenal. I specialize in building solid fundamentals through proper stroke mechanics, but always at a pace that feels comfortable and encouraging. As a senior player, I understand the unique considerations that come with starting or improving later in life, though I genuinely enjoy working with players of every age and skill level. My lesson price reflects INDOOR winter rates. I teach at either Missouri Pickleball Club location-Fenton or Ellisville. When you book with me, everything is included in the lesson price—scheduled court time, guest fee, plenty of balls, paddles (if needed), and a reserved space where we can focus entirely on your improvement without distractions. I enjoy group lessons, so book with one, two, or three friends and lower the price per student cost! I will teach at other locations if a court can be reserved and the student handles making the reservation.
