What city do you live in and where are you from originally?
I live in Wilton Manors. Recently moved to a beautiful house I purchased. I’m from Israel originally but live down here now for six years.
What is your perfect date?
Romantic dinner at home, with chill music, candles and cuddles at the end with a good movie.
What do you do for a living?
Today I am a full-time massage therapist and project manager in real estate, where I renovate and flip places for people. I used to be a model back in Israel and did campaigns on social media as an influencer and worked as personal trainer in the army after I finished my service.
What do you do for fun?
Play softball, a lot of cornhole and chill out at home when I have some free time for myself.
How did you get into Cornhole?
I was invited to a pool party, and I saw two boards but never heard about the game. I asked one of my friends about the game and how does it work and wanted to try. I got hooked pretty quickly!
Do we have Cornhole in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, I am playing Pride sport. It’s a league in Wilton Manors in Rosie’s parking lot, every Wednesday at 7pm. We have 100 people in the league.
Have you won any Cornhole tournaments?
Yes, I won three gold medals with the 3 other players on my team. We won 3 seasons in a row. I play with the ACL – American Cornhole League which is professional and has different skill levels. I won my first singles tournament. First place competitive doubles in Sarasota tournament and twice second place singles and blind draw competitive level.
What is the best part about Cornhole in your opinion?
It’s a game that’s very easy to pick up. Any age, size or gender can play!
What does the future hold for you in Cornhole ?
My goal is to be ready for the pro level to play with the top players in the world and compete for big money prize ($30,000 – $50,000) which will be a live broadcast on ESPN and CBS.
How long have you been playing?
I started last September, just a year and a half ago.
Tell me something people don’t know about the game?
Corn Hole is booming. Over 25 million people are playing the game worldwide. On the ACL league we have 250,000 players. The tournament has an entry fee and cash prizes. There are more than 2000 tournaments a year all over the US. The numbers are growing every year and I will not be surprised to see the game Cornhole being played in the Olympics a few years from now.
