I mostly played deep and caught goals. On defense, I covered the other team’s best player.

Winning open worlds in 1995 (co-captain) was very satisfying. Making it to the finals of nationals and worlds in the open division three times each (co-captain twice) was also good, but not as satisfying. I suppose winning masters nationals and worlds was good too.

On offense, I was almost always able to get open against the other team’s best defender. I had very good speed and hops, and I caught a lot of bombs. We went to nationals almost every year, and I was a major cog on our team’s offense. I heard that I was very hard to cover. On defense, I covered the other team’s best player and got a lot of D’s. I was also responsible for scoring and moving the disc in transition.

I was co-captain of the most successful teams I played on and devised most of our defensive strategies. I caught bombs and played hard on defense. Part of my role was also to provide inspiration for our teams through my play and off the field.

I think 1994-1995 was the peak of my career based on the results. We were in the finals of open nationals and won open worlds. I think I was a top player on each of my teams from 1990 to 2000. In the early years I played primarily on defense, but in the later years, I played more offense. I felt I was equally effective in both roles, but offense was certainly easier as I got older. In 2000, at 32 years old, I was still able to go deep and catch a lot of bombs, and I was picked as an alternate on the first U.S. National Team for the World Games. Also, later in my career, I spent a lot of time working with younger players on my teams to help them realize their potential. I stopped playing at the competitive level in 2003.

I took part in two Friendship Tours to Japan in the 1990’s where we put on ultimate clinics all over Japan.

I played at the highest level and was one of the best players (if not the best) on each of my teams for over a decade. I could cover the best offensive players in the game and got open to catch bombs against the best defenders in the game. I think I was known for my ups, ability to get open, and shut down defensive ability. I went to open nationals 12 times and was in the finals three times (twice as a captain). We also finished third four times and fifth four times (never worse than seventh). I made the finals of open worlds three times (captain in each) and won once. Also, as an old guy, I was a major reason we (Troubled Past) won masters nationals and worlds.
