In 2019, I was introduced to pickleball, and I immediately fell in love with the game. After just a few months I was able to teach others how to play and improve their game.
You can call me Pickleball Ho. I call my style of playing and teaching "Tai Chi Pickleball.” When you play in this style, your entire body is engaged, helping you play calmly and controlled. I help players learn how to "feel it in their body" to truly improve their skills and game.
I have introduced hundreds and thousands of people to this sport and helped them develop their skills. I love bringing people together through Pickleball to build fun, engaging, and strong communities.
I am a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor and became a USA Pickleball Ambassador for Santa Monica in 2021. I’m the founder of the Santa Monica Pickleball Club, a nonprofit that provides free and low-cost opportunities for the community to play pickleball. I'm the head instructor for the Santa Monica Pickleball Club. I helped launch the Santa Monica Pickleball Center in January 2023. I also consulted for Pickle Pop in launching their Pickleball facility on 3rd Street Promenade in 2023.
I am an Ambassador for USA Pickleball, InPickleball, Acacia Pickleball Shoes, and Bread & Butter Pickleball Paddles.
