Career highlights
I was never one of the top competitors, but I love playing. Every once in a while I break seed.
How they started
I recall doing "boomerangs" with a Wham-O All-American when I was 10 or 11.
Favorite move
When I was 34 I came up with a sequence I call the "Old Man Move." It includes a leap over, a behind the back set to a pretzel pull, and a spin into a gitis catch. Doing it is proof of my continuing youth.
Mentors
Evan Furtado, when he was playing in Santa Cruz. Joey Hudoklin was a big inspiration. Skippy, JK, Joey, Tom Shepard, Glen Alona and Connie Bond were very helpful and encouraging when I was writing my book.
Partners
My first partner was Gene Lytle. For the others, see below:
Media and appearances
If you dig up some old MArk Williams videos from Santa Cruz in the 80s, it might be me doing the voice over.
Other interests
I like riding my bike to the beach and going for a swim. And I'm always up for a deep political/philosophical discussion (except not for too long with Jamco... he makes my brain hurt).
