Before pickleball, I was a competitive Fortnite streamer with over 450,000 followers. My most viewed video has over 30 million views. At the same time, I traveled the world playing paintball professionally.
It was fun, and I enjoyed making content for my audience. But something was missing.
Then, in 2022, I found pickleball, and almost instantly knew it would change my life forever. After teetering around a low level for about 8 months, I realized that if I wanted to take pickleball seriously and become a professional, I needed to go where other pros were.
That led me to Delray Beach, Florida, where dozens of the top players in the game call home. I knew that simply playing wasn't enough. I needed to share what I was learning with as many people as possible. So I started creating one video every single day. To this day, I have not missed a single one.
Pursuing pro pickleball while sharing my journey along the way is exactly what I've been trying to find my entire life.
My Pro Journey
From Beginner
to Pro Pickleball
I currently train for at least three hours every day. Here's how I've won 2 APP Tournaments and have over 8 medals on tour, and where I'm going next.
After years as a Fortnite streamer and professional paintball player, I discovered pickleball in 2022 and was immediately hooked. Something about the game just clicked. I committed to improving every single day and started documenting everything I learned.
After 8 months of grinding at a local level, I realized I needed to be where the top players train. I packed up and moved to Delray Beach, Florida: ground zero for elite pickleball. Playing alongside pros every day accelerated my development faster than anything else could have.
I committed to posting one pickleball video every day; and I have not missed a single one since September 15, 2023. Short, straight-to-the-point tips that help players of all levels improve their game. What started as a personal goal turned into one of pickleball's biggest educational platforms with over 1,000 videos and over 100M+ views.
I began competing professionally on the APP and PPA Tours, logging 32+ pro tournaments and a career win rate of 46.5%. A highlight was making it through the Mixed Doubles Pro Qualifiers for the PPA Tour CIBC Atlanta event and competing against top-ranked players Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters.
One of the biggest milestones of my pro career , a 4th place finish in the professional division of the APP Newport Beach Open. That result proved to me that the daily grind was paying off, and it fueled my drive to keep climbing.
I spent a year writing the definitive fast-track guide to pickleball improvement. Pickleball in 60 Seconds distills everything I've learned into bite-sized, pro-level insights (available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble). It's the book I wish existed when I started.
My goal is to become a top 10 professional pickleball player in the world. Every day I train for at least three hours, compete on tour, and share everything I learn with you. Join me; and let's level up together.
