Marc has years of coaching experience at The Picklr, Mile High Pickleball, and TeachMe.to. His coaching philosophy emphasizes strong fundamentals, smart decision-making, and building repeatable skills that translate into improved match play—rather than drilling for the sake of drilling.
Whether working with beginners or competitive players, his goal remains the same: to help players understand the “why” behind each shot, build confidence, and improve in a way that lasts. He prides himself on creating a learning environment where players feel supported, challenged, and clearly coached—because improvement happens fastest when players feel seen and understood.
Marc began playing pickleball in 2020 after discovering the sport during the pandemic, and it quickly became more than just a game. What drew him in was the combination of strategy, movement, and community—elements that closely align with his background in high-level officiating and athlete development.
Prior to pickleball, Marc spent 23 years as a USA Rugby referee, including serving as a National Referee Manager for Major League Rugby and USA Rugby. He is also a World Rugby Trainer of Education, specializing in teaching officials how to break down complex concepts within the Laws of the game and communicate them clearly under pressure. That experience directly informs and shapes his approach to coaching pickleball today.
