About

Dominated women's freestyle. Won all major titles from 1983-86 with one of the greatest competitors ever - Stacy Anderson (McCarthy). We were undefeated.

Career highlights
Winning my first FPA World Championships 1983 with Stacy (Anderson) McCarthy. Winning my first FPA Mixed Pairs with Bill Wright 1985 and winning again 1992 with Steve Hubbard, my hubby.
How they started
As a college student, I played Ultimate but after joining the Grateful Disc Frisbee Club, I started freestyling and never looked back.
Favorite move
Reverse flamingitosis. One-handed walkover. Roll to big air beach gitis.
Mentors
Coloradicals of course - Doug, Bill and Rick. Stacy Anderson, Maggy Simpson, Erica Comptom, Gina Sample, Kate Dow and all the other awesome women jammers.
Partners
Steve Hubbard, Stacy Anderson, Mark Regalbuti, Skippy, Tommy Leitner, Bill Wright, Laurie Daniels, Gina Sample, and Kathleen O'Hare (my first women's partner).
Media and appearances
Most thrilling - Sacramento Kings half time 1988-1993. Strange but cool - Spain, 1993 Game Show.
Other interests
My kids and adorable husband. Dance, yoga and creating something new everyday.
