That's a surprise, and you'll get that after the clinic
I’m a USPTA Certified Professional, and a former APP Senior Pro Tour competitor. Competing at the highest levels has taught me that better pickleball isn’t just about hitting great shots - it’s about consistency, smart decisions, and knowing where to be on the court.
Now, I use that experience to help intermediate players like you sharpen your skills, build confidence, and develop the court sense to compete at the next level… especially if you’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
My approach: Many intermediate players develop habits that quietly cost them points. Long swings, slow grip adjustments, and relying on power when a soft touch will do can all hold your game back. I’ll help you recognize these patterns, make smarter adjustments, and build the consistency and control to play your best.
So, whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court… I'll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.
Players who train with me experience complete game transformations.
They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhausting power.
They understand the mental game.
They play multiple times a week with energy.
They build lasting friendships while improving their game together.
Meet Your New Pickleball Crew

Focus: The two shots that set up every point
Progressive Serving Technique:
Return Drill: Getting to net in one shot with proper balance, paddle positioning, and transition read
Focus: The shot that defines your rating
Most intermediate clinics spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.
I'm different.
Here's my philosophy: Drilling = Transformation
You don't get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting third shot drops repeatedly, while an experienced coach watches and guides your reps.
And here's the truth about why I'm obsessed with drilling:
Because let's be honest, we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don't we?
That moment when you adjust your paddle angle, and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.
That rush when you hit multiple serves in a row to the same spot.
That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you, and you put it away cleanly.
You don't have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
That's why drilling is the heartbeat of my intermediate clinics. Not because I think it's good for you (though it is), but because it's incredibly satisfying to watch yourself go from "I keep making that mistake" to "I just fixed it!" in a single morning.
Most clinics charge hefty prices and send you home with nothing but memories. We're giving you a complete transformation system for life:

You know that moment when you replay the game in your head…
…thinking about all the shots you should have made?
…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?
…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That feeling ends on November 21.
Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.
You walk onto your local court for your regular game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
"What happened to you?"
Your serves are landing deep and consistent, no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you're already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you're controlling rallies with patience and precision they've never seen from you before.
By the third game, they're asking what you did. By the fifth game, they're asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they're asking if you can teach them.
That's the difference between who you are right now and who you'll be after the clinic.
And it all starts the moment you register, because the transformation begins before you even arrive.
This Is Your Moment.
