How I came to join Revolver:
It was the natural progression of the early ‘aught Stanford crew. The leadership from Nick Handler and the other founders was exactly what I was looking for in a team.

Funniest moment or joke on Revolver:
There are apparently two Popocafepetls in Prague. We passed out invitations to our massive Worlds party at one of them and showed up at the other. I don’t remember the rest of the night.

Favorite game or tournament moment on Revolver:
A gritty, fast game against Buzz Bullets in the semifinals at Worlds 2010, with a [quarter-]stadium full of people.

Favorite Ultimate player(s) in formative years:
Shreyas Vijaykumar, Stanford. He was ultra-reliable with the disc and on defense, stepped up in the big games, and had a completely cool and respectful demeanor on the field.

Favorite tournament:
Worlds 2010, Prague

What makes ___ so dangerous?
I run fast in straight lines and chase things. Like a dog.

If I didn’t play Ultimate, my main pastime outside of work would be:
Work. Wait…

Favorite sports team outside of Ultimate:
Philadelphia Eagles

In terms of Kanners, how tan are you?
0.5 Kanners

Something unknown about me:
For my first couple years of Ultimate, I was convinced that I could be a great player without ever throwing a flick. Eight years later, I’ve barely recovered.
