The author of this site/blog, Andrew Lenz Jr., is a USA Pickleball Ambassador, a Site Coordinator for the Santa Cruz Pickleball Club, and dabbles in pickleball coaching.

Andrew lives with his wife Kristen in Santa Cruz, California with their corgis, Oliver and Pepper. Andrew’s and Kristen’s two kids, Nicholas and Charlotte, have left the nest. Nicholas graduated from from UCLA cum laude in Applied Mathematics and finished up a Masters in EE Machine Learning from Duke University and Charlotte graduated from Tufts University and now in medical school at Burrell in Las Cruces, New Mexico working to become a DO. (Yeah, they are pretty bright kids.)

Andrew earns his living selling art materials and picture framing with the help of his dedicated staff. While not a top bagpiper, Andrew is accidentally famous in the piping world—quite literally around the globe—for his bagpipe reference website, BagpipeJourney.com.
