| How long have you been playing disc golf? |
2 years |
| How did you get your start in disc golf? |
I started playing disc golf by watching YouTube videos and from the moment I saw the sport, I was hooked. |
| What do you love most about the sport? |
I love disc golf because it’s a puzzle. Everyone is different, every disc is different, and all shots are different. Every round that I play I different from the last. |
| What makes disc golf better than the other sports you have played? |
Disc golf can be both an individual sport and a group sport, played by all walks of life. |
| How do you approach a new course? |
When thinking about a new course, I try and find any course walkthroughs or practice rounds to watch before I go. For the first time seeing the course, I play a round that is all about what shot works the best on each hole, along with any spots I think I could land. Lastly, I will play a second round to throw the shots I would in a tournament. |
| What do you do to stay focused playing in tourneys? |
I breath, slow down, and pray. It calms me and helps me play the best I can. |
| What’s your most memorable win? |
My favorite win was the 2021 Doc Cramer Classic presented by Bria Disc Golf and 2nd place at the Lost Valley Open. |
| What’s your most memorable disc golf moment? |
The most memorable disc golf moment was when I aced the same hole, 2 weeks in a row at my local league. |
| What are your top three favorite discs? |
My favorite discs are the Discraft Zone, the Streamline Pilot, and the Latitude 64 Villain. |
| What are your top three courses you have played? |
I absolutely loved playing Idlewild when I went there on vacation. I also love Camp Tecumseh and Stafford Woods, which is my home course. |
| If you could play any course in the world, which would it be? |
I cannot wait to play Maple Hill! It’s so beautiful! |
| Who is your disc golf hero, and how were you influenced be him or her? |
I like to study Paul McBeth’s form because his form made him the world champion he is. He is professional and has impacted my disc golf career the most. |
| Whats in the bag? |
I throw a mixed bag, but I love the Trilogy family of discs, along with some Discraft. |
| What non-disc golf hobbies do you have? |
I love to read, play soccer, and learn about astronomy, chemistry, and any other scientific topics. |
| What does #NoBadRounds mean to you? |
For me, #NoBadRounds means that I can learn from my mistakes that I make during a round, which will make me a better disc golfer. |
| What do you love most about your FlighTowel? |
I love the disc fob on the end because it helps me warm up without being afraid of releasing on of my discs while practicing. |
