Most Memorable Moment

My first PDGA sanctioned win came back in 2015 at the 21st Annual Tahoe Pro/AM. I was able to put some solid rounds together on a course I was playing blind to take home the win.

In The Bag

Drivers

Westside Discs VIP Sword

Perfect when you need to get distance, but need control as well. Perfect for tailwind shots.

Dynamic Discs Lucid-X Trespass

When I need to fight the wind, I reach for this. Very reliable, great for getting down the fairway with a soft finish

Latitude 64 Opto Recoil

When I need to get that hard left finish, this is what I reach for. Great distance, with a predictable fade.

Dynamic Discs Lucid Vandal

Probably my most thrown disc. Will handle any angle it is thrown on and keep that flight until the end.

Latitude 64 Opto Fury

When I come to a wooded fairway that I need to finish to the right, this is the one. Straight flight, with just the slight finish right.

Dynamic Discs Fuzion Burst Getaway

Just the opposite of my Fury, this disc will thread the wooded fairway with amazing glide, only wanting to push forward with a gentle finish left.

Westside Discs Tournament Destiny

Hyzer-flip perfection. Released on a hyzer, this will flip up, turn right, only to come back and finish in the fairway. Good for the occasional roller as well.

Westside Discs Tournament Hatchet

My turnover disc for sure. Released on an anhyzer release, this will hold the turnover line with minimal effort.

Latitude 64 Opto XXX

My distance thumber disc. I know that when released to the left, this will pan out and finish to the right every single time.

Latitude 64 Opto Spark

My short distance thumber disc. Most of the time, you will see me use this to get around a corner by placing the flight plate on the ground to mimic a forehand shot.
