In The Bag:
E Spirits, E & S Illusions, E Blurrs, E Elements, ELX, S Demon and 4 Wizards mostly medium. My bag is a Revolution back pack.
Style:
I like to reverse the disc right out of the hand throwing a lot of an-hyzers when possible. I have a lot of power and use it when I can.
Strengths:
I have been playing since I was 3 and that really has helped me become a natural frisbie thrower. My long driving is my main strength, the upshots come very easy and I’m always pretty close to the basket. My putting is pretty solid and when I put well, I am usually near the top!
Training:
Since I have a disc golf course in my backyard I play every day. I usually practice at least 100 or so putts before I play. There are a lot of open holes on the course and I empty out my bag trying new shots and honing in on my game.
Player Advice :
Keep your cool under all situations maintaining a level head. Take each shot at a time, hole by hole. Play with better players as much as possible to keep you from getting nervous.
Personal Disc Golf Goals:
To win at least 4 pdga events, cash in every single event, top 10 in all majors including worlds, USDGC and win Players Cup! 
Player Models/Influences :
Matt Tittle was my first major influence and the competition with my older brothers, Ben, Evan and alex helped me off to an early start in my career. John E McCray is the one who got me throwing Gateway and he and I are close friends and push each other to the next level during competitions.
