Disc Golf Career
Amateur
Started Disc Golf in 2008
How did you discover Disc Golf?
Disc golf came to me as a casual high school hobby with my friends. After working for a disc golf retailer in 2017, I really got into the sport at a technical level, and began competing around 2021. As an athlete turned engineer, the technical aspect of disc golf has never ceased to keep me hooked on manipulating a plastic circle in such amazing ways.
What is your proudest Disc Golf moment?
Winning an NADGT B-Tier in MA2 in 2023.
What are your practice routines?
-Don't keep score
-Throw one "tournament play" drive
-Throw a backhand and a forehand upshot
-Putt out two times
What is your go-to tip for beginners?
Fill your bag with 6-speed discs and under. Play catch with a friend with a putter. Have fun under all circumstances.
Favourite Disc
Plastic Type: Magma
Comment: "The Takapu is everything I want and need in my main putter. The hand feel is great, and it has predictable glide and fade for my style."
