I'm the embodiment of love-at-first-dink, having fallen head over heels for this addictive sport years ago. Rated at a 5.0 DUPR, I play very competitively. Throughout several tournaments, I've clinched first place in many and podium spots in others, fueling my passion even further. Now, as a coach, I'm all about instilling the fundamentals while ensuring every session is packed with fun for players of all ages and levels. Let's team up and elevate our pickleball game together!

"George is a great coach and I would highly recommend him. We worked on my basic shot for the first lesson and I had remarkable improvement.

I am from Hillsboro, Oregon, and I've been immersed in pickleball for over three years. What drew me to the sport is its perfect blend of athleticism and social interaction. As a court ambassador for the past two years, I've worked closely with true beginners, helping them discover the joy of pickleball. One of the most rewarding aspects of pickleball is how quickly one can pick it up with the right coaching. Beyond pickleball, I have diverse interests, including rock climbing, teaching anatomy at BYU, singing, beatboxing, and playing the ukulele.

"Best pickleball coach ever!

Whether it’s private lessons, clinics, or match strategy sessions, I create a positive, energetic environment that promotes growth and a love for the game.
