With a lifelong passion for racket sports, particularly tennis and ping pong, my journey took an exciting turn when I discovered pickleball five years ago. Captivated by the game's fast-paced action and strategic depth, I quickly immersed myself, drawing on my extensive racket sports background. Recognizing my talent, the founder of Revolin Sports invited me to play a tournament with him. Leveraging my experience in tennis teaching, I seamlessly transitioned into coaching pickleball, catering to a growing community of players making the switch. For the past two years, I've shared my expertise part-time at MVP, coaching both tennis and pickleball enthusiasts. Whether on the court or the gym, my goal is simple: to inspire and empower players of all levels to excel in their chosen racket sport, one swing at a time.

"After taking some lessons with Mark, I’m better ready to think about what I should do next instead of just swing. If you can get in to a drill or group lesson with Mark, you’ll learn even more. Whether you’re a tennis player looking to diversify or a pball player looking to improve, Mark’s lessons meet you where you are and are a good value. -Alice Daood

My love for Pickleball began in 2011, during a time when lessons were scarce. Upon moving to the west side of Michigan, I found coaches who helped me correct numerous bad habits. After extensive lessons and attending many camps, I began sharing my knowledge with others. I started formally giving lessons in 2017 and became a PPR certified coach in 2019.
"Clear explanation and demonstration of technique and strategy. Easy personality.

From the shores of Lake Michigan to the sandy beaches of Florida, I've been riding the waves since my teenage years, learning the art of surfing from my talented cousins. Bringing the surf culture to the Great Lakes, I've witnessed a surge in interest, with more people taking to the waters year-round, even in winter's chill. As a passionate advocate for surfing, I've shared my knowledge with countless individuals, from kids to adults, helping them experience the thrill of catching a wave. Additionally, I volunteered at Third Coast Rising, a nonprofit providing free therapy to veterans and first responders through surfing. Together, we're not just riding waves; we're making waves of positive change in our community.
"Legendary lake surfer will get you up on a wave. He's one of the most stoked guys I've ever met, and he kept me stoked for the entirety of our surf lesson.

From multiple ping pong tournament victories to competing at the Michigan Division 1 High School Varsity level in tennis, my dedication to racket sports runs deep.
