About Us

Thanks for stopping by! We're Gerald "Eric" "Lollipop" Alvarado and Roseann Heim: two passionate pickleball players as well as total goofballs. We absolutely love to travel for pickleball tournaments and enjoy meeting new people and checking out each town's best ice cream shops!

Gerald comes from a tennis background. He played for 30 years until one day he tried pickleball and he never went back to tennis. 

Pickleball is Roseann's first racket sport. She comes from D1 Volleyball and Softball at Iona College in NY. She is trying to develop skills in order to keep getting better,

When we are not on the pickleball court we are making lip balm. Our business is called Majestic Lips Inc and we were founded in 2008. We make lip balm from scratch and resell on Etsy and our wholesale site. If you would like to take a peep our websites are majesticlips.etsy.com and majesticlips.com.

Together we founded ProShop Publishing with our first book designed as a word search puzzle book. There was a lot of research that went into the planning of this book. We discovered so many terms and phrases that we never heard of before. Some had us laughing off our chairs and we even try to use these new shots against each other when playing!!

We are going to be adding more and more titles when we are on the road and can't wait to show you what we come up with! It will definitely be unique!

Oh and by the way, if you are wondering why Eric is called "Lollipop" it's because he at times plays with a lollipop in his mouth. Yes a lollipop! Boy does he get a lot of slack from people when they see him with that stick sticking out of his mouth!! 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our site!
