Player Bio
I no longer play due to 2 cervical spine surgeries. I still love to watch freestyle. I competed in 2 tournaments in 1979 with my partner, Robin Melanson. I didn’t enjoy competition & much preferred just jamming with other players.

How I Started
Saw some freestyle players in the park near my apartment & asked to join in to play & learn. The first tournament I ever went to was Indian Summer ‘77.
