Mack and Jamie Carlson share a lifelong passion for community, recreation, and connection - values that inspired them to create The Premier Pickleball Club, Central Oregon's home for pickleball enthusiasts of all levels.

Born in Ventura, California, Mack grew up windsurfing, hunting and fishing with his father and later attended Portland State University. Jamie was born and raised in Aspen, CO but spent the latter half of high school in Big Bear, CA and then attended Norther Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ. Jamie's childhood was filled with activities such as skiing, gymnastics and traveling.

Mack and Jamie met in 2019, married in 2021, and turned their shared passion into purpose - founding Pickler's Paradise, LLC in 2023 and opening Premier Pickleball Club later that year. Since then, they've built a thriving community hub connecting players from Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and Prineville through the competition, camaraderie, and joy of pickleball.
