Bio: Greetings! I'm a physician passionate about racquet sports, particularly pickleball. As a PPR Certified Coach teaching at multiple park districts and private pickleball clubs, I bring an observant eye, great technical skill, a patient manner and years of experience to help my students improve their pickleball skills. My lessons prioritize solid fundamentals, consistent and safe play, and, above all, having a blast on the court. No wonder I have more than 100 5* reviews! Whether you're 8 or 80, let's embark on this exciting pickleball journey together!

Bio: My journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college.    A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court.    I'm here to help.
