Like you, I LOVE pickleball! I really do! When not playing pickleball, I'm probably talking or thinking about pickleball or pickleball entrepreneurship.
I've been playing pickleball for at least five years. At that time, I was flying approximately 130,000 air miles around the world facilitating professional coaching sessions and/or public and private -in-house coach training programs.
I knew when I started traveling with my paddle and booking venues near places to play pickleball, that I was becoming a pickleball fanatic! After accumulating 3 million air miles, I hung up my wings and grabbed my paddle...
My Story
In the early 90's, I became a professional coach -- before coaching was a thing... I'm known as one of the first 300 professional coaches and worked tirelessly to making (life, business and corporate) coaching a household name (which has occurred). Founding member of the Int'l Coaching Federation (ICF) and Association of Coach Training Organizations (ACTO). One of the first 600 coaches to receive the Master Certified Coach credential. Long tenure as CEO of the oldest and largest coach training organization in the world. Earned the designation as a Professional Speaker with the National Speakers Association (NSA). Literally wrote the book on life and corporate coaching - after being relentlessly pursued by John Wiley & Sons: co-wrote three university-level textbooks still in print over a decade later.
Today, I enjoy my pickleball-based roles: USAP Ambassador, PPR Certified Coach (pickleball instructor at large pickleball club), pickleball referee and, on occasion, a pickleball tournament director.
And as I was born to coach and train, I am compelled to create and offer pickleball-based products, programs and services for players as well as pickleball business owners and entrepreneurs.

What Motivates Me...
Simply put, I enjoy the privilege of seeing people succeed in whatever is most meaningful to them. And, as you can imagine, success looks differently for everyone.
One consistent in my years of coaching people from all over the world and from all walks of life is that within months of working together, they become willing to dig deep, admit and then embrace what they truly want.
Partnering with leaders to acknowledge, pursue and achieve what they want is awesome.
Supporting business owners who want to take a few calculated risks and try new things (even new beliefs) is also rewarding.
