About Me
My association with the following groups has given me access to valuable information to help my design skills.

Member of the Disc Golf Course Designers Group
Certified Official and Member of the Youth Committee of the Professional Disc Golf Association
Member of Minnesota Frisbee Association
Associate Member of National Recreation and Park Association
Associate Member of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America
Principal author of the BSA Supplemental Training Module "Disc Golf in Support of Scouting".

While playing more than 120 courses in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Washington, California,  Hawaii, and Switzerland  I've picked up first-hand experience in what works, and what doesn't.

While working on dozens of disc golf courses, either as lead designer, site evaluator, helping another designer, fixing safety problems, or just measuring and mapping, I have had the opportunity to work with many types of clients, including: Homeowners Association, Camp, City, County, Golf Course, and Corporation.

Some of this work earned me a mention in the February/March 2007 Issue of Disc Golf Magazine.

Note: I am not a  Landscape Architect, and do not practice landscape architecture.

I am insured for  Commercial General Liability and Errors and Omissions Coverage.
 


My focus is disc golf course design and analysis, not installation or landscape architecture. 

I will work with your staff, or with your chosen construction company or landscape architect.


My toolkit includes a GPS unit, laser rangefinder, measuring wheel, long-distance level, Google Earth Pro, Adobe Photoshop CS2, purpose-built disc golf course design software and statistical data,  my own site evaluation formulas, a portable basket, marking flags of my own design, a retractable Sharpie, and a vest with many pockets to hold it all.
