About

Got turned on to freestyle in high school in late '70s. Started playing overall then too (golf, MTA, distance, etc.). Was more impressed by Erwin Velasquez's style than anyone else's. His dynamic flow and energy and difficulty were awesome. I'd give ten years off my life to be able to do Erwin's best moves at will. I played with him a lot for the couple of years that I lived in New Jersey after grad school.

I like center control stuff, bashing, skidding, and pulls to a phlaud or gitis. I played a lot indoors growing up in the northeast. San Diego was a great place to live with so many players there. Now it's a 2 hour drive to Seattle to play with all the great players there.

Don't plan on ever NOT playing although there have been a few stretches lasting 1-2 years with no disc play due to family, moving, job, etc... If that happens again, I want YOU to call me and get me out there..... you GOT it?!?!!

Career highlights
NYS freestyle champion at age 15. 1995 Swedisc Freestyle title w Poodle Boy in Linkoping, Sweden.
How they started
Saw a demo at Six Flags. After that, started playing a lot. We were really turned on after a going to AFDO in Rochester (put on by my friend Jim Palmeri) and seeing the Velasquez brothers.
Favorite move
My favorite move was from Buffalo to San Diego 1993 (nice eh?)
