I love to travel and experience different cultures around the world.

What’s disc golf to you?
I call it "hiking with a purpose".
Disc golf has helped me become so much healthier in my life.
Disc golf is friendship. Disc golf is community.
Disc golf is nature appreciation.
Disc golf is so much damn fun.
I am addicted and will play for the rest of my life, god willing. 
-
Forehand or Backhand?
Backhand all day because a hyzer flip to turn over to fade
is the prettiest shot in the game.
I love those long mid-range turn over anhyzer shots.
My forehand is also pretty trash but we don't talk about that.

Favorite disc golf course?
This is so tough.
There was a time when my Udisc stats showed almost as many courses played as rounds played. 
I am a touring musician and have gotten the chance to play courses all over the world. 
After soundcheck I open up the app and take an uber to the nearest course, sometimes skate there. 
Showing up solo is so much fun because the disc golf community is extremely welcoming and
I always can find new people to play with. 
BUT. I would have to go with my home course of Deer Lakes outside of Pittsburgh
OR seven oaks in Nashville or maybe this one crazy alligator infested course in Biloxi Mississippi hahah.
Deer lakes is absolutely amazing (go watch the old world championship coverage held there). 
I remember playing Seven Oaks in Nashville when I first learned how to hyzer flip a sidewinder and I was ripping the most beautiful flip up shots I have ever thrown, it was sunset, I had a few beers, the golden light shining through, the freddie gibbs memorial, the friends I met.
Also have to mention that I was able to play the MPO layouts of Estonia Disc Golf Festival, 
Tampere Finland and the Beast with James Conrad, Luke Humphries, Corey Ellis, Casey White,
Matt Bell, Greg Barsby, Randon Latta and Matty O.
That was a dream come true.
ALSO smugs is so dope, it's too tough man.
Wait also Sieravuori resort in finland. AHH.

Favorite item in your bag?
My guardian aliens mini!
Or my beat up Heat that I got for free from a used bin in Lake Tahoe with Casey White.
Wait, zephyr also an insane course and so beautiful.
Or my signed Ricky Wysocki trading card. Or my pack of cigs hahahah.

Shoutouts?
HUGE shoutout to Jerod Black of Guardian Aliens disc golf.
Without him I would have never been playing this sport that has changed my life
(watch the Black 9 a disc golf documentary I filmed on youtube).
Another huge shoutout to my favorite pro Ricky Wysocki
for giving me a VIP pass at Idlewild a couple years back,
because without that I wouldn't have met Casey White and
in turn would have not met all the other pros I have become friends with and traveled with.
AH! Also Faylor lake is absolutely amazing, watch the vlog Casey and I did there on Caseys channel.
Overall, it is my goal to continue growing the sport of Disc Golf.
I am so passionate about it and I love it with all my heart.
I do my best to get all my friends hooked.
The sport is still in its infancy and I cannot wait to see how big it gets.
I plan to attend worlds next year in Europe again and I am so excited!
