Highest level of play you’ve achieved: Club Nationals

Where are you playing now-a-days: It's the offseason, and as I get older my body seems to need it more and more, but I played some Fall League, and I will surely play some Winter League.

What first got you into the game: I used to play "ultimate frisbee" with my friends in high school which at the time consisted of gathering in a random field and playing 4 on 4 with an aerobie superdisc. Then when I went to the University of Washington, I stumbled across a booth for the ultimate frisbee team and decided to check it out.

What brought you to Portland: Christine Beaulieu

Favorite O/D Strategy: Don't really care what offense we run as long as we keep the disc, POSSESSION OFFENSE FTW!!!! I definitely prefer hard man defense (NO POACHING, everyone shut down their own person)

Anything else to add: Nope.
