Mike Hoxie
The West Zone Director
I was born and raised in Hawaii, went to California College and stayed for ten years, then moved up to the Pacific Northwest in the late 90s. In 2009, I learned the game of Pickleball from many of the legendary players here in the northwest. The last five years I have managed pickleball tournaments full-time with my company, Pickleball is Great. I work both Indoor and Outdoor tournaments, and have set up what feels like thousands of temporary courts and nets over the years; I always look forward to events with permanent courts.
