How I came to join Revolver:
Cal States 2.0 went well and the endorsement of Daryl Nounnan didn’t hurt. Plus the shameless politicking by Russell really helped.

Funniest moment or joke on Revolver:
Nick’s pigeon story. Unfortunately, I wasn’t in the room for Baylis’ Life Story, so maybe that will change.

Favorite game or tournament moment outside of Revolver:
Coming back from a 5-0 hole to beat SDSU for the college Southwest Regional finals in 2011.

Favorite Ultimate player(s) in formative years:
Daryl Nounnan — His intensity and intelligence met my ceaseless questions with patient answers.

Favorite tournament:
Kaimana Klassik

What makes ___ so dangerous?
My speed and my flick are my two favorite weapons. And I think it bears repeating: hanging out with Russell always brings the danger out of any situation.

Theme song:
Ice Cube – You Know How We Do It

Pre-game ritual:
Try to stretch as much as possible, run a bit, hydrate, and enter the zen state.

What I like to eat on Saturday night of a tournament:
A burrito, but I am usually so desperate for calories that I’ll eat the first suggestion I hear.

If I didn’t play Ultimate, my main pastime outside of work would be:
Soccer, climbing, basketball, bass.

Favorite sports team outside of Ultimate:
San Jose Sharks, closely followed by the Giants and the W’s.

In terms of Kanners, how tan are you?
How many zeroes do you accept after the decimal?

Something unknown about me:
I am actually made of glass.
