Jana is the past Treasurer and a WPC Co-Founder. She is a Kitsap County native, growing up on Kitsap Lake fishing for trout and waterskiing.

After retiring from Raytheon Company as a Contract Negotiator, she found her way to a pickleball court and knew she had found “her people” and “a new passion.”

Jana and her husband Kirk enjoy traveling to Mexico, Hawaii and taking their trusty dog, Borga on road trips (making sure there are pickleball courts wherever they go). You can find them at most outdoor music events in Kitsap County during the summer months enjoying local music with friends.

Chairperson of the Bremerton Blackberry Blast and Training & Clinics Committee. Theresa has been organizing beginner and drill pickleball classes with a few volunteers. Her goal is to expand our offerings into “skills & drills” sessions, intermediate + advanced classes, youth classes, and pickleball clinics for our community. These are some lofty goals, and she’s going to need a number of volunteers to make all of this happen. Please reach out to Theresa if you have any questions, or would like to join this group. Theresa has also been volunteering her time on the marketing and tournament committee.

Chris’ family is six generations deep in Bremerton.  She spent her high school years in the very gym we play pickleball and retired from PSNS in 2022.  When she’s not playing pickleball she is tending to her yard or ballroom dancing.

In 2016 I was working at the YMCA in Gig Harbor and watched people play pickleball and thought, oh I could do that. I played Tennis in High School and College. Surprise, it was harder than it looked, but it was fun and I was hooked.

In 2022 I was looking for new places to play and stumbled on some people playing behind the Bremerton Senior Center and the people were amazing and welcoming and some of them had started to organize play and create guidelines, and Westsound Pickleball Club became a thought, a ripple and is now a 501c3 with many amazing officers and members. I was intrigued and wanted to be part of that. I would subtly eavesdrop on their conversations as much as I could. I am now proud to be a WestSound Pickleball Club (WPC) board member.

Currently, 4 WPC volunteers, myself included, are showing the teen group at the Bremerton Boys and Girls Club how to play pickleball and we have been asked by the Volunteer Manager if we would consider expanding to other Boys and Girls clubs in the area.

We are currently in need of volunteers to help in the Port Orchard area and plan to expand as we get settled and have the proper resources in place. You would need to get a Washington State Patrol Background check and pass three online classes, through the Boys and Girls club. Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering.

Prior to retiring, I had a blast working at Boeing as a Technical Designer. I loved playing on the computer and building 3D parts, creating engineering drawings, taking field trips to the airplanes, learning specs and checking the Engineer’s work. It was like playing all day. I also worked as a Health and Wellness Coach at the YMCA, after getting my Health Coaching certificate and retiring from Boeing. I was also a Technical Writer for an Internet Startup in 1999.
