Bio: I started playing pickleball in 2014 and have been rm successful in local tournament play events. Due to my early experience, I started the pickleball program at my local tennis club in Scripps Ranch as it increased from 2 to 4 to 8 pickleball courts. From there, with the help of the tennis pro, we started with large groups (30 -40 players) for pickleball training sessions about years ago until interrupted by the covid pandemic. We were able to recently start training again in 2023 with our current expanded player base.

With me as your coach, every session will be a step closer to becoming a confident and skilled player.

Bio: From an experienced school teacher to a 4.5 rated Pickleball instructor, I've transitioned my dedication for teaching into a new athletic arena. With over 3 decades of tennis playing and coaching under my belt, including a two-year stint at Mesa College, I bring a rich and diverse experience to my coaching. My journey into the dynamic world of Pickleball started a short 2 years ago, and in that short span, I've achieved a player rating of 4.0 to 4.5. Currently, I am currently a Pro-Certified instructor with the PPR (Professional Pickleball Registry) to further strengthen my Pickleball coaching credentials. Despite my newfound passion for Pickleball, I still teach tennis, integrating the best of both sports into my training approach. Together, let's work on boosting your skills and raising your game!

Having obtained PPR certification and serve as the club pro at Bay Clubs Carmel Valley and Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, I bring professional expertise and a deep passion for the game to every coaching session. My own journey in pickleball began just two years ago at the 3.0 level, but through dedication and hard work, I've ascended to the 5.0 level, securing gold medals in numerous tournaments along the way. Sharing my knowledge with others brings me as much fulfillment as competing on the court myself. Let's work together to take your pickleball game to new heights!
