Meet the PIKKL Family

  • Dan & Heidi Martinson

    Dan Martinson is a 30-year entrepreneur in the rubber and plastics industry with relentless curiosity for innovation and manufacturing, a passion for Pickleball, and a 4.18 DUPR.  Dan has multiple patents and owns four other consumer product brands that are sold around the world. 

    Dan has been married for 26 years to Heidi, who sports a 4.0 DUPR herself, and they are proud parents of three children and a 12-year-old Sheepadoodle named Winnie. Now empty nesters, Dan and Heidi enjoy playing pickleball whenever possible wherever their travels take them. 

    When asked what he loves most about the sport, Dan shared, "Simply put, pickleball brings people together. Heidi and I have had more fun meeting new friends in the last year playing pickleball than any other time in our lives. After we played our first tournament together, we knew we had to get more involved in the sport. We have time to give and resources to offer, and we can’t wait to see where this PIKKL venture takes us!”

  • Mike & Erin Strommen

    Mike and Erin met in 1991 in a high school social studies class in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Neither Mike, a soccer player, nor Erin, a member of the dance team, could ever have imagined how a sport like pickleball would have such a positive impact on their lives. 

    Flash forward to 2019. The couple was introduced to pickleball, and it didn't take long for the pickle addiction to take hold. Both Mike and Erin wanted to play whenever they could, so they introduced the sport to friends and eventually put a court in their backyard so they could play 24/7. (Yes, their court has lights!) The people they’ve met on the court — people of all ages and skill levels — have quickly become some of their greatest friends, and they are excited to expand that community with the PIKKL brand.  

    Erin and Mike have three amazing kids (none of whom play pickleball) and too many dogs to count. They like traveling to Florida and playing at East Community Park in Naples, and they also enjoy pickleball battles on the three indoor courts at the barn they share with Dan and Heidi in Minnesota. When she’s not playing pickleball, Erin is obsessed with growing and sharing flowers, and Mike, well, he plays more pickleball.
