Julian Arnold was born and raised in San Luis Obispo, California. He started playing tennis at age 7, and eventually played D1 college tennis at UCLA. Post-grad, he taught tennis professionally for 9 years. Julian Arnold started playing pickleball in April of 2021 after being introduced to the sport by a few tennis friends. He started playing and turned pro less than a year later. So far, Arnold has earned 14 medals and was also part of a Major League Pickleball win with his team the Los Angeles Mad Drops, earning MVP of the February, 2023 event.
He credits his success to 25+ years of tennis training, strong ground strokes and volleys, and his competitive spirit, which makes him one of the most entertaining on the court. You can frequently hear him pumping him and his partner up with “ANDIAMO!”
