I've been playing ultimate for more than 25 years now (yikes!), having played college club, mixed club, and open masters club. I've also been participating in and leading TCUL mixed and open league programming since 2006. I joined the board in 2013 and took on the role of president in 2017.

I've been playing Ultimate for over 20 years, and have played college and club around the world. I've been playing and captaining TCUL since I moved to Minnesota in 2010, and have been coaching one of Edina High School's JV teams since 2015. I joined the TCUL board in 2022 with the hope of improving our relationship with youth and college ultimate.

My ultimate career started in 2013 when I played in my first ever league – TCUL Men’s League (Go Loons!). I was terrible, but the league was a blast! After mastering the sport of ultimate in MN I took my skills South, deep into the heart of Texas. After my stint there I returned to MN in 2018. These days I help run several pickup games around town & play for the Surly Masters team. I’m obsessed with ultimate and am always willing to talk about the sport with anybody. I joined the TCUL board in 2022.

I have been playing Ultimate since 2004, starting at St. Olaf College and on various mixed and womxn's club teams since then. I have also participated in TCUL co-ed leagues for nearly as long; I love the community atmosphere and developing friendships. I have coached high school girls teams since 2014 and greatly enjoy helping young womxn grow their skills and confidence in the sport! I became a board member in 2016 and assumed the role of vice president in 2019.

I have been involved in the Minnesota ultimate community my whole adult life. I currently coach high school ultimate in St. Paul, play mixed ultimate during the summer, and participate in a variety of TCUL leagues. I am always looking for more people to play 2v2 with me.

I started playing ultimate in 2005 at Mike's Birthday Hat tournament in Vermont and I have been hooked ever since. I currently coach high school ultimate in New Brighton and play mixed club in the summer. I am always interested in helping others learn and develop their ultimate skills.

Secretary

I have been playing Ultimate in some shape or form for over 20 years. I started playing with TCUL in 2013 when we moved back to the Twin Cities and have been involved ever since in all the seasonal leagues and with women's master's teams GOSE and Stretch Mark. Ultimate continues to bring the gift of a great community, athletic opportunity, and tons of fun to my life. I joined the board in 2022, and I am excited to be a part of this leadership group to ensure Ultimate continues to thrive in the Twin Cities.

I have been playing organized ultimate since about 2009 and have played in rec leagues in Iowa and Nebraska before moving to Minnesota and joining TCUL in 2012. I have been captaining leagues in pretty much every season of the year since 2013. I enjoy meeting new people and coaching newer players on the basics of the game. I am a new board member as of 2023 and hope to grow the league as much as possible.
