I grew up playing tennis and enjoyed it, but my passion truly ignited when I moved to Arvada as an adult. Basketball had been my primary interest, but after two torn ACLs, I shifted towards tennis. Progressing to a 4.0 level, I aimed to become the best player I could be. However, another voice suggested coaching. I heeded that intuition and founded Tim’s Tennis Time in 2021, which has exceeded my dreams. I believe in certifications, recently achieving PTR Level 2, and I emphasize teaching skills through targeted lessons and footwork. My goals are to help players improve, whether competitively or socially, and support those aspiring to play tennis in college. It won't be easy, but I embrace the challenge and look forward to guiding your tennis journey.

Brett loves to help the sport of Pickleball continue its growth by introducing new players to the game and helping experienced players improve their strategy and skills. As a coach, he encourages players from the very start to start thinking about hitting the smart shot,(playing with purpose) rather than just getting the ball back over the net. Because pickleball is not as physically demanding as many other sports, anyone can play and almost everyone can become good with a little strategy and ball control. Brett played in his first tournament in 2021 and won gold (at the 3.5 level). He continues to play competitively and has won medals at the 4.5 level. He hopes to be able to compete at the senior pro level when he turns 50 in a couple years. Brett lives in Arvada with his wife, daughters and stepson. Pickleball takes up most of his leisure time, but he also enjoys skiing, hiking, reading and singing.

Bio coming soon.

Tennis classes in high school and college were the catalyst for Darrin’s obsession with the sport as an adult.  He finds tennis to be enjoyable, challenging, and a great way to keep physically fit.  He has played on multiple teams and in several leagues in the Denver-metro area.  His coaching philosophy is based on the term “hum-bition”, which is the powerful mix of humility and the ambition to succeed…both on the court and in life.  While he loves the sport, he says that it’s the incredible people he meets through tennis that makes it a passion for him.  He chose to join the Tim’s Tennis Time team after observing Tim as a coach, player, business owner and in social settings.  Darrin is excited to be a part of the tennis movement that Tim has created in the community.

Born and raised in Mexico, I moved to Colorado with my family in 2011. I've been playing Badminton for all my life, but I was recently bit by the Pickleball bug, and now I'm hooked. I've only been playing a year, but due to my background in Badminton, I have a unique insight into the fundamentals of footwork and strategy which not all players have. As a coach my main focus is strong fundamentals (serve and return, transition, and kitchen play) as a framework before implementing strategy and reinforcing high percentage shots. As a player, I enjoy Pickleball immensely, and play it almost every day. As a new player, and therefore a new coach, I know that I have a lot to learn. So as I continue my career as both a coach and a player, I know that I have nowhere to go but up. In my life outside of Pickleball, I am an avid enjoyer of videogames and science fiction novels, and have even developed and released a video game during my time in college. 

I was born and raised in Colorado and always find my way back here. I studied marine biology in Hawaii and spent a decade traveling as a scientist and SCUBA instructor. In 2014, I returned to Colorado, started a construction business, and retired in 2022. Now, my days are filled with hobbies and teaching.

I started playing tennis in middle school and competed through high school. After a long break, I resumed playing when I moved back to Colorado. By 2021, I began focusing more on tennis, playing about 150 official matches a year and teaching.

As a coach, I believe in balancing dedication and enjoyment. I emphasize setting specific goals for progress while also enjoying the game and embracing individual styles and talents. Joining Tim’s Tennis Time allows me to focus on teaching without worrying about logistics. The flexibility here benefits both me and my students, letting us tailor times, locations, and training programs to fit individual needs.
