Reason for playing ultimate:
After playing all of the sports available to humans, I could only find one that required the highest level of all around skill and athleticism that was seamlessly packaged with an incredible community of friends.

When and where started playing ultimate:
Started playing 'three flies up' and ultimate when I was 13 at Camp Swig (summer camp in Saratoga Mountains). Never played a 'regulation game' until my first year at UCSB.

Lessons learned playing ultimate:
Short term memory has its advantages.
When in doubt, huck it.
Positive is always better than negative.
The team I play with usually wins.
Having support makes all the difference!

Personal comment:
Being a part of the tradition, community, and success that Tom Kennedy and many others helped to create over 25 years ago for Santa Barbara is the Ultimate prize!

Noteworthy:
Longest 'continuously playing' member of the team.
