About this speaker
Byron is considered one of the leading referees in pickleball, if not the leading referee as significant voices in the sport say. He is currently the Director of Officiating at the APP Tour.
Byron, an accomplished professional competitor, was born in Guyana. As Head Referee for the busy and growing APP Tour, his play has been curtailed as he’s required to be on-site for most of the tournament.
A lifetime athlete at high competitive levels in table tennis, volleyball, and racquetball, injuries led him to pickleball and he proceeded to earn numerous titles and medals as a professional.
He is former President of the Valencia Lakes Pickleball Club in Wimauma, Florida, where he and Marsha learned to play pickleball.
