I hold a professional degree in Human Resource Development from Ohio State University, which focuses on adult education. With 45 years of experience playing and coaching soccer, when I began pickleball I became a student of the game. Pretty obsessive actually. I've recently expanded my coaching to include beginner pickleball at the Wadsworth YMCA and weekly sessions with Special Olympics athletes. My diverse background allows me to bring a level of knowledge and passion to coaching, helping players of lower to mid levels develop their skills and confidence.
