During his college years at Northern Illinois University, John was introduced to Ultimate Frisbee and later Disc Golf. In 1988 he started playing in disc golf tournaments and, by winning several local and regional events, was awarded Rookie of the Year by the Professional Disc Golf association. In his 30-year business career, John has been involved in the sale and marketing of advanced medical and surgical devices. Besides his roles as sales and marketing manager, John has been the product development manager of several medical devices and named on several patents. In 2010, John founded Whirld Sports to market proprietary products to improve disc golf.

Over his disc golf career, John has played over 650 courses and has dedicated a great deal of study toward making disc golf the most participated in sport on earth; in other words… Making the Whirld Better™.
