Zip’s club career lasted from 2002-2010 and it burned as bright as any player’s during that time frame. While competing with Brownian Motion from 2002 to 2005, Zip also competed with Boston’s Death or Glory in the Open division. In 2005, Brownian Motion won the College National Championship and he was the Callahan Award winner. Zip competed with DoG until 2006, earning consistent quarters and semis results and a finals WUCC appearance in 2002.  Zip moved on to compete with Atlanta’s Chain Lightning in 2007 winning Club Nationals in 2009. Internationally, his proudest moment was as part of the 2005 World Games gold medal team. Zip may have been the quickest and smartest player on the field in the majority of games he played, and that combination meant he found himself in the right place at the right time over and over again.
