Hi, I’m Travis! I discovered pickleball about a year ago and quickly fell in love with the game. Since then, I’ve dedicated hours to improving my skills through competitive play, tournaments, and studying strategy. Before pickleball, I played soccer, which taught me the importance of footwork, court awareness, teamwork, and strategy—skills that have translated directly to pickleball. I look forward to helping you reach your pickleball goals. Let’s get on the court and have some fun!
