Meet our pickleball pros
Michael DeGrazier
Pickleball Director
Michael grew up in Lake Tahoe, California where he spent most of his childhood downhill skiing, playing baseball, basketball, squash, golf or lost in nature in the high Sierras. At an early age he excelled at tennis and in 1996 was a walk-on at the University of Nevada, Reno.
After playing with the team for a year, he transferred to the University of Montana and found a love of photography, graduating with a BA in Photography (2000) and MFA in Media Arts (2004). For nearly 20 years Michael has traveled the country, working in marketing and film production, and his work in these fields has garnered him 14 Emmy nominations and 5 Emmy wins!
Michael first picked up a pickleball paddle in the fall of 2022 and unexpectedly found the sport he was always searching for. He has a passion for teaching and enjoys working with beginners and seasoned picklers of all ages. He lives in the Bitterroot valley with his wife Amber, dog Bunker, and cat Mickey. When he’s not on a pickleball court (which is rare), he enjoys the endless outdoor opportunities western Montana provides!
