Kyle Mayday Malone!!Favorite team? This is a tough one. So many great teams out there but I’d have to say Jordan Camba and James Baldwin.

Honestly I thought it was a cool name for a bag. Lol I was so new to the game I didn’t know the difference between a good bag and a bad one. I started as a rep 2 weeks after Austin started the company. Austin has done a great job of growing the company, and making sure that we have a bag to offer for every type of thrower.

Oh man, idk. I’ve been around a while. Several hundred I would guess.

I do outside sales for an electrical distributor

Yes. I have given myself a 2 year time frame to get it done.
How confident are you about qualifying?
By the end of this coming season I want to be very confident.
What is one piece of advice you would give new players to the sport?
Throw Killshots and have fun!!
And last but not least- do you have a mantra that you live by or quote that defines you?
Be a humble winner and a gracious loser!
