Funniest moment or joke on Revolver:

4. Sherwood's pre-game warm-up at Northwest Regionals 2010.
5. Cassidy's bathroom visit to the cellar at Froggy's in Davis on his 21st birthday.

Favorite game or tournament moment on Revolver:
Winning Worlds in Prague, Czech Republic, because it was my first championship.

Favorite game or tournament moment outside of Revolver:
1. 2009 Sean Ryan - Davis Dogs vs. Cal - My first full year on the Dogs and this was my first ever matchup against Cal. The game went to universe point and I caught the game-winning goal (my eight goal of the game) on a bailout throw that hung over a crowd of people. Suck it, Dutchy, Ryo, and Joel! It may be worth mentioning that Sean Ryan was a pre-season tournament and that the next time we played Cal when it actually mattered we lost 15-3. :(

Favorite Ultimate player(s) in formative years:
1. Taylor Lahey - my captain for the first two years with the Davis Dogs, for being one of the hardest-working players and having as much heart as anyone I've ever played with.
2. Allen Thoe - for his wheel and for still being crazy athletic with half a foot.
3. Daryl Nounnan - for teaching me patience even though I never listened, and for being as hairy as a baboon.
4. Steve Joye - my dad, for influencing me to play this dumb sport (if you can even call it that).
5. Eric Halverson - for being my first coach and teaching me everything he knows as I continue to play on Revolver, including his sweet shimmy before he throws a flick (mine is probably better now though).
6. Kevin Cissna - for his work ethic and intensity, even though it scares me sometimes.

Favorite movie as a kid:
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

What makes ___ so dangerous?
Goose step. 'Nuff said.

Theme song:
1. LMFAO - YES
2. Zac Brown Band - Chicken Fried

Pre-game ritual:
Rest as long as possible before I have to start running.

What I like to eat on Saturday night of a tournament:
Chicken. Fried. Just kidding--that's gross. Probably a burrito.

If I didn't play Ultimate, my main pastime outside of work would be:
Basketball, backpacking, rock climbing, piano, food.

Favorite sports team outside of Ultimate:
Green Bay Packers

In terms of Kanners, how tan are you?
0.1 in the right lighting.

Something unknown about me:
1. I actually hate Ultimate -- I just play because the chicks dig it.
2. I'm actually faster than Beau.
