Thank you for the consideration of donating to my pickleball professional journey. Having played professional tennis, pickleball came more naturally to me, but it has been a wild ride and not even a year into playing! My job in the finance and crypto industry was outsourced to Brazil at the end of 2022 and with having started playing on 9/1/2022 with the initial mindset of ending 2023 as a top30 in the world player, I have been working hard. Since starting, I have lost over 50 lbs and become one of the top players in Colorado but still need to get traveling with a high level doubles partner. This is the part I need help with from friends and family. I wanted to pursue pickleball seriously and travel but the financial requirements have been steep, and along with all the work I have done for my HOA, serving as a delegate and the BoD Treasurer, it leaves limited time to work to raise funds. By my estimate and calculations, I have already helped save the HOA over $150,000 in expenses and it's not stopping there. But to pursue pickleball full time and supplementing that with my custom woodworking, I need some help so I can go show these other Pros that I'm there to win. I have wins over 3 players in the top 40 in the world already in singles and doubles I have similar results but have never had an equally skilled partner, so it's been tough. Thanks for reading, I appreciate your time and consideration, and until next time, don't forget to drill!
