December held only one tournament for me where Stefan Auvergne and I took bronze in Mesa and Susannah Barr and I finished 4th!
Jenny and I made the 17 hour drive back to Wisconsin…again…so that Murray could join us for Christmas !
I hope that everybody had a Happy Holidays and great New Years!

Sooooo, I got drafted to the next season of Major League Pickleball! I was drafted 12th overall (I was just happy to get picked, so going so high was a terrific honor), by the Frisco Clean Cause team! My teammates are Matt Wright, Yana Grechkina, and Lina Padegimaite. Let’s go!
Major League Pickleball flew us out to Las Vegas for the MLP draft reveal party, which was televised by the Tennis Channel. They told us to dress better than business casual. The only thing better than business casual is tigers eating pizza…obviously
Given the developments in professional pickleball (outlined a bit in last month’s newsletter) I’ve decided to sign an exclusive PPA Gold Card deal! I’ll be participating in PPA and MLP events in 2023!
I’m thankful for everything that Ken Herrmann, Mike Polisky, and the APP have done for me over the last 3 years! At the same time, I’m excited to try something new!
My paddle escapades were certainly the center of any Christmas table conversation, so I’m extremely excited to announce that I am working with a new paddle company to create a signature paddle, and we’re making great progress. I’m hoping to have a new paddle by the end of January! Which company do you think it is?
Didn’t get the Yobow that you were hoping for this Holiday Season? Fortunately, the most compact massage pistol on the market is still available at its discounted $99 rate!
