LAB BIO:

On the Course:
Any pre-round rituals?
None

What has enabled you to achieve success in the sport?
Desire. I wanted to learn fast so I played a lot and I moved up quickly so that I could learn from better players. It has never been about winning... but pushing myself and having fun.

How do you prepare for a tournament?
I putt. That's all, really.

Goals for 2007
To make some money in pottery so that I can get back out on the disc golf course! I haven't been able to play much this year and I miss it... but I put everything on hold last year to pursue disc golf and now it's time for me to catch up with my life. I want to find a balance between the two.

Pet peeves?
Angry golfers... I know everyone has there moments on the course where frustration catches up... but there are some folks who seem to have a meltdown every round. It makes it harder to enjoy a round when someone is bringing down the whole card.

Have you added any new throws over the off season?
No.

What’s in the bag?
Pro D Challenger, crystal buzzz, flash, crush and surge.

Words of huck wisdom for new players?
Play for fun and push yourself, but cut yourself some slack! It's a game, remember that.

What motivates you?
Whatever I pursue, my main motivation is just to do the very best that I can... I like to push myself to see what I'm capable of

Academic pursuits?
I am done with school for now. I have 183 credit hours at the University of Texas. I pursued a double major in Geology and Studio Art. I minored in botany and anthropology. I worked hard and held a 3.5 GPA. I decided to focus on the art degree and became a potter.
