Bio: Started throwing in the summer of 2008 when the economy crashed. I was working construction and found myself being bored while out of work. I started running at Quail Ridge Park for exercise and asked some random guy on hole 9, “What the hell is game you’re playing?” After he told me, I finished my run and went to straight Dicks Sporting Goods as thats where he said I could get some of the discs. I bought myself one of the Innova disc starter packs and have been hooked ever since. I lost one of those disc the very first time I played a round by myself. I only used a few discs my first few years but then I got my dad and both younger brothers out throwing and my dad and I was playing almost everyday. In 2011 I found out about the PDGA and started playing tournaments, 1st tournament was an A Tier, the St Louis Open. Ive played in 20+ states, 200+ courses and Ive traveled to across the country just to play in a tournament. The one thing I enjoy most about this sport is the people, I have family all across the country just because of this sport. I’ve met people of all ages and backgrounds in this sport and all just as welcoming as the next, its something I’ve personally never experienced in any other sport.
