Thomas Shields
Founder of The Dink Pickleball, Media Company
Thomas Shields is the Founder Of “The Dink Pickleball” Media company. While workiing on MBA, Thomas wrote an essay about how his family’s discovery of pickleball has brought all three generations back onto the court together. In that moment, Thomas made a career goal to build the largest pickleball community in existence, allowing pickleball to bring millions more together, like it did for his family.
Clichés aside,Thomas’ love for the game led to his launching of TheDinkPickleball.com. now a full fledge pickleball media company, that began as a newsletter, bringing a centralized voice into the sport. With the launch of The PicklePod, Thomas plans to bring Pickleball media in all forms to the masses.
