I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.
"Paul is a great teacher, I learned a lot in the first class. We had a lot of practice.

Passionate pickleball player and coach who fell in love with the sport in December 2022. Since then, I've dedicated myself to playing and coaching, winning over 15 gold medals in tournaments and earning my highest rating of 4.1 DUPR by competing against talented players on the East Coast. I take pride in teaching others and building valuable skill sets that can be used on and off the court. I enjoy coaching driven players who aspire to be more competitive in pickleball, helping them reach their full potential.
