Behind NextFrame

I’m a proud Tallahassee native with a lifelong love for competition and sport. Growing up as a multi-sport athlete, I eventually dedicated myself to soccer, competing at the collegiate and semi-professional level. Those years re-wired my mindset to hone in on discipline, strategy, and understanding the game beyond just the surface.

​

After college, I began coaching goalkeeping privately and at the high school level. Coaching felt natural. Helping others improve, see the game differently, and gain confidence is something I genuinely enjoy. Goalkeeping taught me how critical movement, positioning, anticipation, and decision-making are — and those same principles translate directly to pickleball.​

 

I caught the pickleball bug around 2023 after my sister introduced the game to my family. It quickly turned into something more, but for me evolved from just social play into a competitive pursuit.

​

NextFrame is my vision to bring a strong strategic mindset and technical foundation to the Tallahassee pickleball community.

 

Whether you're brand new or looking to compete at a higher level, I want to help you move better, think faster, and play smarter.

This isn’t just about hitting better shots — it’s about understanding the game.
