About Me

Welcome to the Pickleball Palace! I am excited to have you stop by. 

I started playing pickleball in November of 2020 and play several times a week, whether it's in the cool Arizona winters or the scorching Arizona summers. And by scorching, I mean when it's 117 degrees with 21 percent humidity. 

I love playing with family and friends, and I especially love teaching juniors the game of pickleball. 

Kids take to pickleball like Ben Johns takes to gold medals.

My endless fascination with the sport of pickleball has led me on an adventure of a lifetime.

Follow me on a journey through my pickleball kingdom and see how much joy can come

 from a court, a plastic ball, a paddle, and the picklers you meet along the way.
