Bob grew up in Auburn and has deep roots in the community. He started playing pickleball 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with the fast-paced fun of the game. He began teaching two years ago at the ARFC, where he shares his enthusiasm with players of all levels bringing clear, patient instruction and a friendly, encouraging style that keeps everyone smiling and improving.

By day, Bob works as a project superintendent for a commercial contractor, applying the same attention to detail and steady approach as he does on the court. When he's not playing or teaching pickleball, Bob enjoys fly fishing and spending quality time with his wife of 25 years and their two kids.

Whether you're new to the paddle or sharpening your skills, Bob's love for the game and easy going energy make every session enjoyable.
