Thomas de Faria

Thomas, a native of Brazil, made the move to Colorado in 2008 and then to Naples in November 2024. While he spent years as a competitive soccer player, his focus has now shifted entirely to pickleball. His parents first introduced him to the sport, and he's been hooked ever since.

Now an IPTPA-certified pickleball instructor, Thomas has discovered a deep satisfaction in teaching. His greatest joy comes from seeing his students' progress, especially with a sport like pickleball that offers such a quick and rewarding learning curve.
