If you’re not sure where to get started with pickleball and can’t make it to one of my sold-out Intro Classes or you are ready to start learning some Beginner Strategy, I’m your guy. As a PCI-certified coach, I focus on Beginner through Intermediate Students ready to break through 3.5.

I was a lifelong tennis player who discovered pickleball post-pandemic. I play at a 4.0+ level and won the Silicon Alley Pickleball tournament in 2022. I’ve most recently been coaching for Catskills Pickleball in Woodstock. I also run the programming at Stuy Dome in Bedstuy for NYC Pickleball, hosting Open Plays, facilitating DUPR Round Robin events, and instructing our 101 and 201 clinics. 

When coaching, I make sure Beginners walk away with the basics that allow them to join rec games locally, but I love opening players’ eyes to the strategies of the game which quickly level up their play. Even if you’ve never picked up a paddle, it’s never too late to discover your new favorite activity!

I primarily coach in Prospect Heights and Bedstuy, but am generally happy to travel around Brooklyn and possibly parts of Manhattan. I always have paddles on hand that you are welcome to borrow if needed.
