How I came to join Revolver:
After getting cut in 2010 I stepped up my game in 2011, bringing Robbie lunch at work, sending Dutchy hilarious YouTube links, doing Bart’s laundry, washing Ryo’s car, and letting Martin know that I ALWAYS use Google as my primary search engine.

Playing the Buzz Bullets under the lights in Seattle.

What makes ___ so dangerous?
I have this 65 cm exercise ball that I sit on instead of a desk chair. It’s brilliant. I’m basically making my core stronger every moment of the day. That means that for every single hour my opponents spend on a traditional office chair my ab and back muscles are that much stronger than theirs. And that adds up in October.
Theme song:
The Tallest Man on Earth – Graceland
Pre-game ritual:
I take a moment to remind myself why I play. That usually puts a smile on my face and I feel ready to go.
What I like to eat on Saturday night of a tournament:
Chocolate milk + anything else.
If I didn’t play Ultimate, my main pastime outside of work would be:
Rock climbing
Favorite sports team outside of Ultimate:
Texas Longhorns
