How did you start playing pickleball?
I attended a clinic set up by one of our walking partners. There were several of us that attended and now play multiple times a week.

What do you like most about pickleball?
It is a lot of fun! The social aspect of the game is as much of the experience as actually playing the games. Provides a fun way for me to get a workout!


Why do you serve as Treasurer of PAK?
I was asked to serve due to my familiarity with both the workings of a non-profit and my prior experience working with government entities. I serve as treasurer of several other non-profits so I was happy to serve as treasurer of PAK. Serving on the PAK BOD will help me learn more about the game and meet other players from around the island.
