Cliff Moss — FOUNDER

I am a co-founder and current President of the BOCO Pickleball Club. I have been a resident of Boulder a little over 50 years. It has been pleasurable as well as personally rewarding to see the progress that the Club has made since inception. I continue to have goals I would like the club to achieve in the next year and I am looking forward to being a part of the team that helps reach those goals.

I have worked in the computer industry for my entire career with companies like IBM, Storage Tech and Siemens. During that period I have worked in many US cities as well as in Europe and Asia but I’ve always maintained a home in Boulder. I believe I have substantial IT, organizational, and financial skills as a result of upper level positions in those companies.

The vision I have is a pickleball complex with dedicated and lighted courts. This complex would include seating, water, shade and restrooms. While this vision may appear ambitious, it has been accomplished in smaller Colorado cities than Boulder. Boulder continues to be one of the few cities its size without a single dedicated pickleball court. The North and South Rec Center courts have been a blessing for us, but they are still shared by drop-in tennis players, for profit tennis instruction and the Boulder School District. They lack water, shade and often restrooms.

A complex of 16 dedicated courts, or more, fits our style of play. A socially inviting mix of skilled based open play and reserved courts. It also fits the size required for holding events such as ladders, tournaments and traveling instructional camps. All capable of providing the city with revenue opportunities. 

I understand the resource constraints of the city. The proposal is not to build such a complex immediately but to build 4 to 8 courts in a location that has the land available for a minimum of 16 courts as financial and other limited resource requirements allow.

Max bradley — Director

I believe in giving back and making a positive contribution to the community, especially when it involves an activity that I am passionate about. Pickleball has been my primary athletic activity over the past few years and I feel my love of pickleball coupled with my experience and professional pickleball instructor certification make me an ideal candidate for the BOCO PB board.

I am a retired senior business development leader with a Fortune 500 company and a founding board member and past board president of the Colorado High School Cycling League. During my 10 years on the High School League board, we grew league participation from 150 student athletes from 30 schools in year one to over 1,500 athletes from over 150 schools in my last year on the board. I bring a blend of board of directors for a not for profit experience coupled with extensive (35+ years) corporate business experience.

As pickleball continues to experience exponential growth, it’s critical that the club leadership work with the community leaders to ensure we have quality places to play and that access to courts and facilities grow to match the increasing player demand.

ROBERT CONSTABLE — Vice President

I discovered Pickleball during COVID at our gym when I couldn’t play squash and immediately fell in love with the game. I spent quite a while trying to find good open play. Unfortunately, the Boulder options seemed very limited, so I ended up playing mostly in Longmont and Broomfield. It wasn’t until the summer of 2022  that I discovered open play at the Rec centers. Shortly after that BOCO Pickleball was formed. The BOCO Pickleball club seemed to me to be the missing ingredient for increasing awareness of Pickleball options in Boulder and increasing the number of options available. I have been helping out with instructing beginners and, of course, shoveling, and anything to increase the time we can play. I am passionate about playing and making sure that Pickleball thrives in Boulder and want to help wherever I can to ensure the success of BOCO Pickleball, because I see it as the key to Pickleball thriving in Boulder.

I recently retired from 37 years in IBM where I was in Product Management responsible for identifying market requirements for products then assembling the teams across organizations (marketing, development, finance) to deliver the products. This provided me with a strong background in IT, organizing, marketing and financial budgeting and analysis.

If I had to narrow down what I want to see the Club accomplish to one item, it would be getting a dedicated Pickleball facility in Boulder.

PETER NEWMAN — director/treasurer

Hello, everyone! My name is Peter Newman, and I am thrilled to be a board member of the BOCO Pickleball Club. My journey into the world of pickleball began in 2021 when my wife and I moved to Boulder, Colorado, from the stunning Gold Coast in Australia.

Pickleball quickly became a passion for me as I immersed myself in the vibrant pickleball community here in Boulder. The thrill and excitement of the sport, coupled with the wonderful camaraderie among players, made it an easy decision for me to get involved on a deeper level.

Aside from my love for pickleball, I am a proud family man. My wife and I are blessed with three amazing children. Our eldest daughter is pursuing her dreams at UVA law school, while our second daughter is making her mark at Wake Forest University. And let's not forget our talented son, who is currently attending Monarch High School.

As a board member, my primary focus is on fostering a strong sense of community within the BOCO Pickleball Club. I want to create an inclusive and supportive environment where all members, regardless of skill level, can come together and enjoy this fantastic sport. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to pickleball, I am here to support and encourage you every step of the way.

When I'm not on the pickleball court or fulfilling my responsibilities as a board member, you can often find me exploring the beautiful landscapes of Boulder or spending time with friends and family. I am genuinely honored to be a part of the BOCO Pickleball Club family.

So, if you have a love for pickleball or simply want to try out this exciting sport, I invite you to join us on the courts. Let's create lasting memories, share laughter, and embrace the spirit of pickleball together!
