All About Me: I’m a native of Indianapolis and grew up on the Southside where I attended Roncalli High School and eventually Purdue University. My wife Felicia and I are parents to two beautiful children named Emilia and Luca. We are proud Irvingtonians since 2009 and we love our neighborhood and couldn’t think of starting a club anywhere but the Eastside. It’s about time we get some nice things. Oh, did I mention that I’m the founder of Indianapolis Pickleball Club. I’m so excited to be bringing this facility to the neighborhood. On a personal note, I’m a lifelong competitive tennis player - I’m okay, not great, but love everything about the game. I fell in love with Pickleball over the past 4 years playing which drove me eventually to wanting to open up Indianapolis Pickleball Club. We hope to build a place where other people can fall in love with the game, and a community to grow with together.

​

Experience: I’ve been playing pickleball since 2019 when a good tennis buddy of mine introduced me to the
game. I fell in love with pickleball singles in particular due to its similarity with tennis singles. I’ve only played in a few “tournaments” and have done well up to this point, but not many plans to play in serious competition unless it is local.  I love running and HIIT style workouts and plan to teach some specialty Cardio Pickleball and Pickleball Bootcamp style sessions to get sweaty and have some fun.
