Joe is passionate about learning and staying on the leading-edge of coaching as an IPTPA Level II Certified Pickleball Coach, DUPR Coach, and Racket Pro Coach with a talent for helping players move from "just playing" to playing with true mastery. 

Joe doesn’t just teach the game; he excels at its higher levels. He has competed and medaled in 5.0+ and 6.0 events at prestigious tournaments, including the APP and the US Open. As a dedicated USA Pickleball Ambassador, his mission is to share the joy of the sport while emphasizing proper mechanics to ensure every player stays injury-free and steps onto the court with unwavering confidence.

When is Joe not on the courts? That’s a trick question! But when he does take a breather, he’s usually embracing the outdoors—whether he’s skiing, playing soccer, or hitting the waves at the beach with his wife and three adult children.

Joe’s roots run deep in NC having been born at Camp Lejeune, and his heart remains in the ACC. He is a proud University of Virginia double-grad (where he met his wife) and an avid supporter of both Duke University and NC State University, following his children’s paths through those storied institutions.
