About your pickleball coach

As a certified pickleball coach and instructor, I bring a wealth of experience from the world of tennis and pickleball. After nearly my entire life dedicated to tennis, I transitioned to pickleball six years ago and haven't looked back. For the past four years, I've been sharing my passion for this amazing sport through teaching, drawing on my extensive background as a college professor for over twenty years. Pickleball isn't just a game; it's a social activity, a fantastic workout, and, above all, incredibly fun! I can't wait to share the joy of pickleball with you in one of my classes soon!

I happened to be playing pickleball at an outside park and Bob was on the court next to me giving instruction. Unbeknownst to me, he was also watching me play and I was making so many unforced errors. When he was done with his lesson, he came over to my court and stood next to me and explained how I should be holding my paddle and the positioning of my feet in anticipation of my opponent's shot. It made such a huge difference that I work with him once a week now and my game has gotten so incredibly better!

Thank you so much Bob for helping me get rid of my shanks! I struggled for months not being able to land my serve. Bob watched me serve and made two quick fixes that solved everything! It was the positioning of my feet and the angle of my paddle when making contact with the ball. I also now remember to keep my head down and watch the ball make contact with my paddle before lifting my head and moving. He is the absolute best!!!!
