Having had a life long passion for racquet sports (Certified Tennis PTR coach 20+ years and national tournament player in Platform Tennis), I was delighted to discover Pickleball 10 years ago when I moved to Naples, Florida. I was fortunate enough to win the Gold Medal in my first Men’s Open Tournament at Veterans Park. A couple of years later, I also won a gold at the US Open. Competing and playing Pickleball for exercise is so exhilarating and addictive. I met so many new players along the way who have asked me to help start them safely or improve their mid level games. I truly enjoy coaching and received my Pickleball IPTPA Teachers certification in 2017.

I started playing tennis at 11 years old. Among this sport also ping pong was my favorite. I met Pickleball 4 years ago and it seemed a natural combination between the two. Just easier to mastering. I started my path taking private lessons and advanced camps and three years ago i achieved the first PPR Level I Professional Coach Certification. Recently I achieved the Level II from PPR and then I joined IPTPA obtaining the Level I & II Professional Coach Certification. I am a VAIR Rater, a new, innovative, company which has developed an excellent system to rate players for the players. www.vairified.com I am a very patient teacher and a good listener. I enjoy to see my students to learn and to improve their skills.

Though my roots are in tennis, I've found a new passion on the pickleball court! I've transitioned my racquet skills to this fast-growing sport and currently play at a 4.0 level. The strategic play, quick reflexes, and social atmosphere of pickleball have completely won me over.

Have been playing basketball and more importantly, learning and teaching basketball, for a long time now! Has been a great journey! If there's anything that the sport has taught me, it's that you can do anything if you put your mind to it! That's not an opinion, that's a fact! Went from being called tall for nothing my junior, after one very focused and hard-working summer, one of the best players in my area and earned a Division II scholarship. With hard work, willingness to learn, application, and a mind that doesn't allow fear to control it, you can be as good as you want when it comes to basketball! This sport is about 20 percent physical, and 80 percent mental!
