Chuck Taylor has been playing pickleball since he was first introduced to the sport in high school. He grew up in Poulsbo, WA, which is in close proximity to Bainbridge Island, the birthplace of pickleball. He couldn’t resist the pull of the game.
Chuck enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. He says that they are his constant source of inspiration and support as he continues to excel in the world of pickleball. His fondest memory of the game was a pickleball trip to Korea with a dear friend, which will always hold a special place in his heart. He now offers private lessons and camps, and loves sharing his experience and expertise with other players.
