Julian Slive

Julian was born in Cleveland, Ohio and even though he relocated to Boca Raton at the age of five he continues to visit his birthplace each summer for camp. He is an enthusiastic student at FAU High School that thrives in science and math, delving into complex problems and solutions. He combines his academic rigor with a keen interest in technology, always eager to explore the latest gadgets and innovations. Julian's tech savvy extends to creating edits and clips for social media, where he actively shares his sports endeavors and travel adventures on platforms like Instagram.

Julian's athletic journey has evolved from a background in lacrosse, where he excelled as a face-off and midfield player, to a focused passion for tennis and pickleball. He finds immense satisfaction in the fast-paced nature of pickleball and particularly enjoys the challenge of executing a precise backhand counter. Julian also embraces a diverse array of hobbies including piano, skiing the Colorado slopes, and ice baths. He seeks thrills in visiting roller coaster parks, gaming, and exploring the skies with his drones.

Julian is able to focus on his dreams with the support of his parents and companionship of his twin brother, Ben. He is the proud owner of Everest, a Doberman Pinscher who is an integral part of his family, accompanying them to pickleball tournaments and travels. His affiliation with Phantom paddles reflects his desire for quality and community, drawn to the company's exceptional products and tight knit, “Phamily” atmosphere.

Looking forward, Julian remains committed to excelling academically, exploring his passions in sports and technology, and embracing new adventures with his family. His enthusiasm for learning and zest for life make him a dynamic presence both in the classroom and on the pickleball court.
