Our Amazing Team
The Stateline Disc Golf Association was founded in effort to grow and cultivate disc golf in our community. Our goal is to improve our parks with course design that is accessible to all skill levels.
By bringing exciting tournaments and events to our community, we hope to increase player participation and volunteerism across the Stateline.

I was bitten by the disc golf bug fifteen years ago at the tender age of fifty and it quickly became my sport/hobby /obsession of choice. This love affair quickly led me to become involved in the local disc golf community, working with local communities to grow, maintain, design and develop courses in the Rockford, IL area and finally the need to take disc golf growth to the next level, Stateline Disc Golf Association (501-3c) filled that need.

Disc Golf has provided a lot of food for my mind, body and soul since I started in the 90s. Running leagues, events, teaching students, course design and maintenance are passions of mine. Traveling to play new courses is one of my favorite things to do and when you add the comradery and competition with friends, it’s good food.

I found disc golf while coming back from injury from another sport back in 2019. What was supposed to initially be for mobility, turned into passion and disc golfer #182927. Obsessed, I dove into competition and eventually started volunteering at Durand, Anna Page, Woodlands, and Porter Park (my home course). I love being creative so I found an appetite for course design and the overall growth of the sport in our community. That need for community growth led to the formation of the Stateline Disc Golf Association in an attempt to make viable growth happen by players, for players.

I found my love for disc golf in college, playing solo rounds finding creative ways to throw circles in nature. It was my free escape thanks to a classmate giving me the discs to use. I eventually tried joining a local league but was left feeling a little like an outsider, so I kept to myself. After several more years, I gave a different league a chance. I was so happy I did because the people were so welcoming and encouraging. Thank you, Buck Walden and the Durand Tags League for setting the bar high and inspiring me to foster a similar environment with the SDGA.

I first picked up disc golf in 2001, and played sporadically for the next couple decades. In 2021, I began playing more consistently and started volunteering at Porter Park. We began the Stateline Disc Golf Association in 2023 in an effort to focus our attention on courses throughout the Northern Illiniois and Southern Wisconsin area. I’m enthusiastic about the growth of the parks and I’m excited to see how far we can go.
