Brian started out playing tennis around the age of 10 and began playing competitive tennis in Junior High and then throughout High School. Brian was a #1 singles player and went on to play intramural tennis at Texas Tech. Upon graduation Brian played USTA league tennis and participated on teams which competed in Dallas and Houston in regional tournaments and at the national tournament in Tucson, AZ. Because of Brian’s background in tennis he became interested in pickleball about 8 years ago and would go on to compete in pickleball tournaments.
This sparked his passion for the sport and so in 2020 Brian began offering pickleball lessons and eventually became a full-time professional instructor at one of the local country clubs providing tennis and pickleball lessons to adults, youth, and kids of all ages and ability levels.
Brian has experience with individual and group lessons and has been at Netplex since August of 2023 offering professional pickleball instruction. Brian considers it a blessing to play, coach, meet new people and help them improve their game.
