Michael Loyd grew up all over Texas playing basketball and tennis. Loyd went on to play Division 1 tennis at University Of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Loyd first found pickleball in 2020 as a way to exercise during the pandemic. Wasn’t until finishing his MBA and his collegiate tennis career that he picked up a paddle again in 2022.
Worked for HEAD pickleball after college until pursuing pro pickleball in September of 2023. Loyd is the oldest brother of three, family includes younger brother Jason, younger sister Madelyn and parents John and Carrie Loyd. Outside of pickleball Loyd enjoy collecting, figuring out his next tattoo, and volunteering with the youth at his local church.
