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.

As a pickleball trainer at Auburn Racquet & Fitness Club, Ken is passionate about helping players of all levels improve their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the game. Whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to refine your strategy and technique, his focus is on creating a supportive, engaging environment where players can develop at their own pace.

“My coaching emphasizes fundamentals, smart shot selection, and game awareness, while keeping sessions fun and energetic. I enjoy working with individuals and groups, tailoring instruction to meet each player’s goals—from learning the basics to becoming more competitive on the court.”

Above all, Ken believes pickleball should be both challenging and enjoyable, and he’s excited to help members of the Auburn Racquet & Fitness Club community grow their games and love for the sport.
