Born and raised on Long Island, New York, I moved to Florida in December 2020 having never even heard of pickleball. That changed quickly once I stepped onto the courts—and promptly got schooled by some seasoned players. From that moment, I became a true student of the game.
What started as casual play turned into a passion. I went from knowing nothing about the sport to climbing from a complete beginner all the way to a 4.5+ player, competing in 5.0 tournaments, and earning multiple gold medals along the way.
Before pickleball, I was a scratch golfer who lived for competition. Eventually, I traded the fairways for the courts, dedicating myself fully to pickleball and pushing to reach the highest levels of play possible.
Now, pickleball isn’t just a hobby—it’s my sport, my drive, and my way of life.
