How long have you been playing disc golf? |
I have been a member of the PDGA since 2015 |
|
How did you get your start in disc golf? |
I was born into the sport. My family had a 24-hole course on our property. |
|
What do you love most about the sport? |
I love being outdoors and seeing different courses. |
|
What makes disc golf better than the other sports you have played? |
I like that anyone can go out and play a round. It isn’t expensive, and you can throw anywhere. |
|
How do you approach a new course? |
I keep an open mind. Try to watch videos of the course beforehand. Especially if it’s a tournament that I’m playing in. |
|
What motivates you to continually improve your game? |
I am a very competitive person and my brothers are as well. They constantly are beating me out on the course so that drives me to get better. |
|
What do you do to stay focused playing in tourneys? |
I try to focus on just my game. Not worry about what other people are shooting. |
|
What’s your most memorable win? |
Last year at the Tree Love Classic. It was my first sanctioned win. |
|
What’s your most memorable disc golf moment? |
My first year going to Ledgestone. After two rounds I was in 114th place. I shot hot round my 3rd round and jumped up to 25th place. |

|
Who is your disc golf hero, and how were you influenced be him or her? |
My brother, DJ, is my disc golf hero. He has been playing for over 20 years and still continues to grow. Growing up I never really liked disc golf since our family revolves around it. Once I got into high school, I started to caddy for him. After seeing the joy that it brought to him after hitting a big shot or winning I tournament I decided to give disc golf another shot. |
|

|
What non-disc golf hobbies do you have? |
White water rafting, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and soccer. |
|
Any superstitions you have before or during a round? |
No superstitions. Make your own luck :) |
|
What does #NoBadRounds mean to you? |
#NoBadRounds means that regardless what you shoot you are still winning. You’re outside enjoying nature. |
|
What do you love most about your FlighTowel? |
The best thing about the FlighTowel is being able to stay warm during rounds. During tournaments there are often backups on holes. So you could be waiting for 15+ minutes. The FlighTowel allows you to stay loose. Especially during the winter. |
