Gabriel Joseph's journey in sports and coaching is as diverse as it is impressive. Hailing from West Hills, CA, he currently serves as a full-time instructor in both pickleball and tennis at the Calabasas Tennis & Swim Center. Despite his recent introduction to pickleball in 2019, Joseph's talent quickly propelled him to the forefront of the sport.
A graduate of Cal State Northridge with a degree in nutrition and dietetics, Joseph's breakthrough moment came on the PPA Tour at the 2023 Takeya Showcase. There, he captured the spotlight by defeating Federico Staksrud and clinching the gold medal in singles, showcasing his skill and determination on the court.
Off the court, Joseph finds joy in spending quality time with his girlfriend, Neeka, exploring new restaurants, or simply unwinding with dinner and TV at home. A fan of tennis star Nick Kyrgios and musical artist Drake, Joseph proudly represents ACE Pickleball as his paddle sponsor, while also enjoying sponsorship from Chubbies for clothing and HIS MIX from Mixed Chicks for his hair.
Adding to his colorful life is his beloved brindle French Bulldog named Kobe, who undoubtedly adds a touch of joy and companionship to Joseph's adventures both on and off the court.
