I like playing Wii! Also like tennis, golf, x-country skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, and power-kiting.

Usually I am a part time touring professional disc golfer in the summer. But have been plauged by injuries since Sept 2006. Broken Ankle, broken rib, broken hand, and now I messed up my throwing shoulder my first time riding in fresh powder. Too much weight on the lead foot…FLIP landed on my shoulder. After a month finally have full range of motion back, but still a lot of pain.Back to Disc Golf in 2008 however!!! Woo!
Is that something like Ultimate (frizbee)?
Not even close. It used to be called Frisbee Golf back in the day when it was invented because they were using regular frisbees. However now the discs barely resemble a frisbee. Most discs have a beveled edge making them more aerodynamic enabling them to fly farther and faster. Golf discs are also more dense then a regular frisbee.

i skate and build bmx bikes on the side. plus im a photographer so im always doing something.
Photography is cool, do you have a website or something?
not yet, im working on it. im moving to louisville ky in july and ill have one a few months after that. im trying to be a skateboarding photographer but the nashville scene isnt all that great, these kids are…ok but no one really pushes the envelope much. so its hard to get pictures that really stand out.but louisville has this huge concrete skate park thats about the size of a football stadium and ive seen kids get mad air and bust 720s and all kinds of transitions. (plus people ride it when it snows which is a major plus for me haha i love snow covered skate parks)so after i move ill put up a site. all i really have right now is some nashville city scenes, some macroflower shots, and im working on a “homeless people of Nashville” book, so a few gutter portraits.
