Bio:
I started playing disc golf around 2013 with my uncle Terry after a family gathering we have every year. Tully Lake DGC was only 2 miles away from his house and before this, I never knew it existed. Growing up, I always was into sports and the competition made for a great time. Early on in my disc golf career I threw semi far with old, beat up discs that I Hyzer flipped and they always went right just because I had the speed. After playing local tournaments, including a few doubles events, I was hooked. I could recall going to the course and playing for hours, and I mean hours. From sun up to sun down I was at the course trying to make my game better.
Going into some more sanctioned amateur events, I won quite a few of them. I just didn’t want to keep getting discs as the prize, so I decided to play against better players to help improve my game.
My professional career began in 2015. I didn’t get my first professional win until 2017, at a course I played blind and after that, I never looked back! At this time I have 7 professional wins and that number can only go up! One of my most notable wins was recently at the Jeffery Cranston event at Meadowbrook Orchards, where I shot a hot 1076 rated round to win by 4 strokes over my good buddy and teammate Casey White.
My goals this year are to better my game against the best in the world, and make a name for myself.
From New England events, to now touring around the country full time, Disc Golf 978 has been there from the start. Be on the lookout for me this season and don’t be afraid to say hello!
