And it isn’t even close. The Austin native and recent University of Texas graduate is the world’s top-ranked doubles player on the pro APP Tour; playing both Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles, he won 14 gold medals in 2025’s 12 tournaments, along with both gold medals at the 2025 Collegiate Championships. More golds have followed in 2026, in tourneys as far away as Kuala Lumpur. Balancing that with his business degree has been “one of the more interesting puzzles of the last few years,” he says, but lest he get bored, he’s also founded the Longhorn Pickleball Club at UT, built a social media network, led international pickleball retreats, gotten “deep into real estate investing on the side,” and runs his career through his own LLC.
