Meet The Founder

I was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, with both of my parents originally from the Philippines. Growing up, I was always active and involved in sports, which taught me the value of teamwork, dedication, and community.
The idea for Apollo Pickleball came when I saw the wide range of paddles being offered, most of them from U.S.-based brands, often at prices that were simply too high for many Canadian players. I wanted to change that.
My vision was simple: create paddles that are not only high-quality and durable, but also reasonably priced for Canadians. By combining advanced materials, innovative design, and accessible pricing, Apollo Pickleball helps players at every level—whether just starting out or competing in tournaments—not only elevate their skill but also contribute to the growth of the game in Canada.
Apollo is more than just paddles—it’s about building a community and giving every player the chance to play with confidence, quality, and pride.
