The universe has a funny way of shifting things. A few years ago, I never would’ve guessed where I’d be today. But here I am, and it all started with pickleball.
I used to be stuck in a regular office job—staring at spreadsheets, making reports. It paid the bills, sure, but every day felt the same, and it drained the life out of me. I had a loving family, good pay, but inside, I was restless.
Then, out of nowhere, a friend called and asked, “Hey, Dave, want to play pickleball?” My first thought? “What even is pickleball?”
I was clueless, but I said yes. I needed to get out of the rut, and honestly, I just wanted to spend time with friends. When I stepped on that court for the first time, something clicked. I had no idea what I was doing, but I felt excitement I hadn’t felt in years.
The more I played, the more life felt lighter. I made new friends, found a community, and, somehow, a sense of belonging I didn’t know I was missing. I started feeling happier, healthier.
All of this led me here—to building this website and share my passion. It’s my way of giving back to the game that gave me so much.
I hope you like it.
