About Eric

Eric has been playing disc golf since 2011, thanks to his dad, who introduced him and his brother to the sport with an Innova starter set. Having played object golf with regular frisbees while camping as kids, disc golf became the perfect way to relive those memories and create new ones together.

 

For Eric, there’s nothing quite like watching the flight of a disc—one of the many reasons he enjoys spotting at professional events, where he gets to witness seemingly impossible lines firsthand.
