A former tennis player with 46 years of experience, I switched to competitive and recreational pickleball 4 years ago. I bring a deep understanding of racquet sports and a passion for teaching to every lesson. I'm certified by both the International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA) and the Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR), and I've been proudly coaching at Westlake Athletic Club for the past three years.

I specialize in game strategy, court positioning, and the mental side of play - helping players not just improve their mechanics but also outthink their opponents. While I love working with advanced players to sharpen their tactical edge, I’m equally skilled at introducing beginners to the sport in a welcoming, encouraging, and fun environment.

Off the court, I’m a proud dad, grandpa, and an all-around fun guy who believes that learning pickleball should be as enjoyable as playing it. Whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to compete at a higher level, I'm here to help you play smarter, move better, and enjoy every point.
