Hey friends!
March was packed with action, excitement, and a special milestone—Jenny and I celebrated our first anniversary on March 30th! 🎉 We marked the occasion with an unforgettable trip to London (more on that below!), but before jetting off, I squeezed in a ton of pickleball fun.
The month kicked off with a visit to Midwest Pickleball Club in Omaha, Nebraska, where I hosted an epic 5-hour clinic alongside some awesome Pickleball Pros. Big thanks to everyone who came out—it was a blast. If you want me to bring a clinic to your hometown, just shoot me a message here!
While in Omaha, I also got the chance to film some fun content with the Friday Pickleball crew. If you haven’t seen their stuff yet, you’re missing out—they’ve got super entertaining challenges and great Pros vs. 5.0s style content on their YouTube channel.
Next stop: Dallas (McKinney) for the Texas Open! My new 5s teammate, Christa Gecheva, and I snagged a first-round win before running into the tough duo of Etta and Federico. In men's, Ryan Fu and I almost pulled off a big upset—had match point against the eventual champs Ben Johns and Gabriel Tardio—but couldn't quite close it out.
Before heading across the pond, Anthony made his way to Austin for two weeks of solid training. We had a great mix of instruction and guided play—and even managed to catch a show at the famous Comedy Mothership on his final night. Oh, and we had a very special guest at the Lab—six-year-old Roy Lee! Check out bits from our lesson together below.
If you're interested in private or small group lessons, or know someone who is, feel free to reach out—I’d love to work with you!
More London adventures and updates coming soon. Until then, keep grinding, keep smiling, and see you on the courts! ✌️

London Trip
Jenny and I rang in our first anniversary with an unforgettable trip to London—a first for both of us! Of course, we couldn’t resist mixing in a little pickleball before diving into sightseeing. Huge thanks to James Chaudry, Thaddea Lock, ProXR, the Roehampton Club, and the UK Pickleball Shop for helping us host an incredible event right in the heart of England!
With the paddles packed away, we made the most of every moment—riding the London Eye, visiting Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and even making stops at Wimbledon and Warner Bros Studios (yes, we geeked out on Harry Potter). We capped it off with an epic Arsenal match and plenty more packed into our whirlwind adventure.
London, you were a dream. Already can’t wait to go back!
