I have played disc golf since 2007 and became particularly interested in its international growth while spending time in Norway in 2016 completing part of an international master's program in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies. A native North Carolinian, I now live in Germany. In the fall of 2017, I began covering European disc golf for the independent disc golf media outlet Ultiworld Disc Golf. In late 2018, I was honored to be chosen to help UDisc launch the 'Release Point' blog and love helping the company further its goal of growing the sport by producing engaging posts about topics related to all areas of disc golf.
