I’ve got some of the best sponsors anyone could have with representing great companies like AllCornhole, AAR, Dirty Bags Cornhole and The Jersey Guy! You guys are the best and I can’t thank you enough! I also am VERY fortunate to have the best fans ever!!! I am truly thankful for each and every one of you!!! One last thing because I know I went way to long with this, lol! I have been fortunate enough along with the help of Chad and Emily Littlewood with AllCornhole, bring to life a bag concept some of you may have heard of called “Gamechangers “!! This has been such a cool experience! To have something that you are a part of to be liked by so many of your peers is truly humbling. I recently was fortunate enough to make the first ever USA National Team!! How cool is that to be able to represent your country doing something you genuinely enjoy!! I have been truly fortunate throughout the years and have the support of my wife, my daughters and their now spouses and my extended family.

And no matter where we travel, the people always make us feel welcomed! I now travel and play the pro circuit with the American Cornhole League ran by commissioner, the legend himself “Stacey Moore”! He along with awesome his staff members run tournaments throughout the US and are now stretching out beyond our borders! The National tournaments can now be seen on several major TV networks like ESPN, ABC Sports and NBC Sports.
I have made so many friends in this sport! I enjoy the fact that I can basically travel anywhere in the US now and run into friends.
But I have really enjoyed the successes I’ve had along the way.
I definitely took and still take my share of losses. I knew right then that I wanted to play competitively and see where I stood against some of the higher-ranking players. I found out there was “organized cornhole“ that had point systems and rankings. So, I started searching for tournaments outside my area and traveling more. We had quite a few wins together! Well, this only fueled my desire to get better and play bigger tournaments. We ended up becoming great friends and traveling and playing a lot of tournaments in the local area. Oh yea, I met my buddy George Cowand from Midway NC at that tournament. Long story short, we won the tournament, and made some really good friends that I am still friends with today! It was a small tournament with some local players there, but you would have thought it was Worlds for us. We both are super competitive and did not want to embarrass ourselves. So, Steve and I decided to go! We were nervous to say the least. I heard there was going to be a tournament in a neighboring town close to us at a festival they were having. My buddy Steve McCombs and I would throw for hours on end. I was hooked immediately! My wife ordered me a set of boards for my birthday and I started practicing! I saw some guys playing a game I had not seen before. We were camping with the family down on the Outer Banks of N.C.
