Let’s GO.
I’ve officially signed with the @selkirksport Emerging Pros team. Their support will be fundamental as I continue to see just how much success I can have competing in pickleball at the highest level. I’m honored to join the program and represent the Selkirk brand.

I feel like my journey into pickleball continues to go to exciting and previously unimaginable places. From building a court in a parking lot during COVID lockdowns, to the deep fulfillment I’ve found by
progressing in the sport and sharing that knowledge with others, it feels like brighter days are still ahead. Never hesitate to reach out about lessons. Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of this adventure so far. Come on!

An unexpected podium 🥇 with @kailas.pickle in the PPA Austin Moneyball! With Santosh of Team @Speedup.pb still locked in with singles, I got the call to play and we had an awesome run. Kai is an absolute beast and is committed as anyone to taking his game the top of the sport. Let’s go!

Happy to be on the podium again in Santa Rosa, winning bronze 🥉 with @corielliott.pb in 5.0 mixed doubles. Let’s go!

It was great to see the best players in the Bay competing against one another as we continue to level up each other’s games. Congrats to @sguillebeaux44 and @willlmack on the win.

Lastly, thanks to @selkirklabsbyselkirk for this Project 002 paddle. It’s an absolute weapon and has completely transformed the way I play.

What a week in San Clemente! After getting close so many times this year, I finally broke through and qualified for the main draw in Men’s Pro Doubles. Here are a few highlights from our solid fight against Collin Schick and Nöe Khlif in the first round.
 
All the credit to Will - who at the age of 16 - possesses just as much composure, pickleball IQ, and fight as anyone I’ve played with. In addition to qualifying for the main draw, we topped things off with a win in the Moneyball event a couple days later (seen here). Excited to run it back next week at APP Newport and to keep moving the ball in the right direction.
 
A big shout out to @selkirksport and @vuoriclothing for the support on this journey. And a sincere thank you to @nolan_smyth_pb @dylanozmore @jswerbilow @harrypicone and @haleypicone for coming out to support us.

Back-to-back wins with @kailas.pickle! This guy got reallll sick 🤢 early in the day, but battled on and played five more matches to give us a chance to win the Santa Rosa 🍇 Classic. It was a gutsy, legendary performance and he pushed his tank beyond empty.

When I first played this event in 2022, I watched some of the 5.0 / Open division matches and felt that the level was intimidating and out of reach. It means a lot to pull this one out and the day will serve as a reminder that the hard work does pay off.

Thanks as always to @selkirksport for the fresh kits and my deadly 002 🏓 from @selkirklabsbyselkirk. Onwards!

Back from 🌵PPA Desert Ridge 🌵having competed alongside two hard-hitting assassins in @litvinovd1998 and @charlietrevinopickleball. We went 4-3 overall in pro men’s doubles (including Moneyball matches) and made it through the qualifier round into the main draw in pro mixed doubles with a couple of good wins and a fiery comeback. Once you’re there, it’s both exciting and deeply humbling to stand on the other side of the net of some of the world’s most talented players like @ettatwright and @pablotellezpb. Lastly, a big thanks to those who came over to support us during our matches and to @selkirksport for helping this journey to continue.
