I'm the disc golf guy and this is my exciting 2017 sponsorship announcement. Let's take a quick look to the past for what brought me here today. 2003 I became an LLC with Lifetime Disc Sports. Of course, my company got on the first set of shirts and is my first ever full sponsor. Thank you, Lifetime Disc Sports. 2005 started working with our friends over at Discraft. They recognized they had a need in Wisconsin and the Midwest to help get more discraft discs out there. I was running tournaments. I was playing all right as a professional player, but I was representing Discraft and they were very kind, very gracious to me for the years of 2005 and 2006. 2007 rolled around and I became the TD for AM Worlds and also continued to install courses, run demonstrations, provide clinics and do all sorts of things as a role of a tournament director, promoter and a member on Inovas ambassador team. Oh, and PDGA became on Inova's ambassador team representing the old school bar stamp logo here. Inova has helped out thousands of players and of course is the biggest name in the game of disc golf. They supported me being on the ambassador team. Also during my peak season around 2007 where I was actually once rated 995. Believe it or not, I was a decent disc golfer at one point. By 2011 or 2010 time frame, I had moved into doing more video and other things besides just promoting and playing golf. I became the disc golf guy. So around 2011 is when Legacy said, "You know what? We like what you're doing. You're not that much of a player anymore, but we love to support the things you're doing online." So next thing you know, Legacy became a sponsor. I didn't take off my hat very well there. That was smooth, guys. Legacy was a sponsor of mine. They said, "We love everything that's going on. They wanted to support Smashbox TV. They were the first ever to get us off the ground with live broadcasting. I'll forever be indebted to Bomba and Steve Rico." Just before Legacy, we had even a another brand that helped out with the Disc Golf Guy video blogs, and that was Disc Nation. Thank you so much to Disc Nation for a great year in 2011 and we hope...
