I used to hate pickleball—until I played it. Now, I warn people: if you don’t want another addiction, don’t start! After about 2.5 years, I've reached a 3.5-4.0 level in pickleball and a 4.5 in tennis. I teach introductory pickleball and coach individuals and groups at levels up to 3.3, specializing in helping beginners and even those who have never played a sport. My passion is to spread the love for pickleball, whether through those who have never played - entry-level tournaments, clinics for all ages, or kids’ summer day camps. To Win, Yes! But More than just winning, I coach to inspire mental, strategic, and mentoring growth both on and off the court.

Michael started with zero experience in golf but was taught the fundamentals for two years before picking up the game. His dedication paid off as he quickly rose to become the number one player in the city. Michael earned two scholarships, first to Panola College and then to Stephen F. Austin University, where he further honed his skills. As a coach, he guided his daughter to receive two scholarships of her own. Michael’s greatest contribution to the game is his innovative approach to improving performance, having designed a product and program aimed at helping anyone who wants to play golf reach their full potential.
