So I worked a plan out with his cornhole family. I’m proud of what he’s been able to do with cornhole and wanted to show how much he means to me.

The ACO is family and accepts everyone as family and I’m glad that I am a part of that family.

Why I Got ACO TattooI never thought that I would get a tattoo; they say that if you get inked, it should mean something to you. Well, I am very passionate about the sport of cornhole. Becoming a member of the ACO has given me the desire to pursue something that is very important to me. This organization, and the players, from day one have accepted me for who I am, (not the best player in the world…lol), but they made me feel like part of a family, and that is the ACO, Family!! So at 59 years old, those are the reasons why I got my tattoo. And heck, the perks aren’t bad either. Living life throwing 30 feet at a time!!!

One Fact About MeI’m an avid snowboarder and although I live in the desert, my favorite place to be is in remote snow covered mountains.
Why I Got ACO TattooThe Las Vegas Cornhole community was so gracious and welcoming from the moment I stepped onto their courts. This camaraderie continued when they presented the opportunity to play with the American Cornhole Organization. That experience not only rekindled my fire for competition but put me in the company of even more incredible people. People you can be fiercely competitive with on the court and still have amazing friendships with when the game is over – truly a win-win scenario. Thus, for me the ink is a simple reminder to appreciate those opportunities and people who cross your path, embrace the unknown and step out of your comfort zone – feel that adrenaline rush and even if don’t win in points, you win in life with the ACO family.

One Fact About MeLong before Cornhole was my life, BMX was my life. When I used to race in 1991 I was #1 in New York state for my age & class.
Why I Got ACO TattooI remember when ACO first came out to Vegas in early 2008 and I knew back then the ACO had something special going on and it was also right around that time that Las Vegas Cornhole was born. There’s three reasons why I decided to get my tattoo 1. Damon Cochran, Las Vegas’ ACO certified official and commissioner of the mountain west conference before he passed in 2018. He was the driving force for the ACO in Las Vegas and the reason I started competing in ACO. 2. I proposed to my wife at ACO Worlds in 2019. 3. ACO has been like family to me and a big part of my life. Later in on down the road when I look at that tattoo I’m going to think of all the great people I’ve met over the years and the ACO is a big part of that.

Why I Got ACO TattooWell… why does anyone get a tattoo? Some people mark themselves for life to remind them of past family members or ancient sayings or religious scriptures or names of their current family/love interest. I got mine because of what it stands for “Family” Frank and everyone in the ACO has made me and my family feel like are family from the first event I ever went to. I designed my own tattoo to show who I am on the inside not just what you can see on the outside.
