About

“I was born in Anaheim, California. Raised in Cerritos. I am 100% Russian ethnicity (3rd Generation). My religion is Christian Molokan. Don’t know much about the language, but I did go to an Orthodox church and learned a lot about my culture. I have a twin brother (fraternal) who is special due to a rare disease called Tuberous Sclerosis. I have an older sister who lives in Oregon. My parents are boomer babies born 1948. My grandpa on my mom’s side is a WW2 Veteran. I grew up around all types of sports, track and field and Basketball. Varsity captain two years in basketball and 3 years in track and field. I never even knew what disc golf was until my co-worker introduced it to me in 2012. My first ever disc golf course I played at is Liberty Park (9 hole) in Cerritos. I borrowed Latitude discs from my co-worker, but my very first disc I purchased was a white first run Legacy Rampage from the Huntington Beach Pro Shop. Since then, I played all the time and grew to love the sport. My first weekly tournament was at Liberty Park. I then learned about getting a PDGA number and playing in sanctioned tournaments. In 2016, I competed in Am Worlds and placed 4th. I was almost ready to move up to Pro, but felt like I left something out and told myself to compete in the Next Generation Tour in 2017. Out of 8000+ Ams throughout the U.S all competing for (at the time) the biggest disc golf purse in Disc golf history, a car, I was able to come out on top and win a 2018 Kia Soul. That was the end of my Amateur career and would then move up to Pro. My first pro tournament was in 2018, Shelly Sharpe Memorial where I placed 3rd place. I knew then I can hang with the big dogs.”

Favorite Discs

“My favorite Legacy Disc are the Vengeance and Enemy. I rely on my sidearm quite often and those discs fit perfectly for my game.”
