I came up
in it.
I didn't find cornhole with a camera. I came up in it.
From a small-town backyard to building a brand.
I'm from a small town in New Hampshire. I found cornhole as a sophomore in high school, right in the thick of Covid — and something about it just clicked. I started taking it seriously, throwing bag after bag in the yard and inside the house. I was a two-sport athlete — football and basketball — and worked a job through school the whole time, but cornhole was the one that stuck.
My senior year I went all-in, even after I tore my ACL and my meniscus. I kept throwing anyway — on crutches, in a full knee brace. Shortly after graduation, I earned my pro card.
One of my sponsors, Wicked Cornhole, gave me a job, and I moved to Boston to really chase it. For two years I ran their storefront, social media, online sales, and the day-to-day of the business. Then the owner, Bruce Taylor, lost his battle with cancer, and Wicked closed not long after. That one stayed with me.
I went home to New Hampshire for a while before a scholarship brought me to Winthrop to run social for their new program — the first Division I cornhole program in the country to offer scholarships. Ten of us came together from across the country to build something that didn't exist before. That's where I fell for content and creating, where I found a whole new passion inside the game — and where Stickside was born.
Bruce Taylor & Wicked Cornhole.
Bruce gave me my first real job in the sport and a spot on his team. Wicked Cornhole — est. 2014 — was where I learned the business behind the boards, right up until Bruce lost his fight with cancer. This one's for him.
Cornhole brings people together. Stickside is the channel that actually shows it.
Cornhole isn't a backyard game anymore. It's on ESPN and CBS, 100,000+ players, pros with real rankings, and a World Championships that takes over Rock Hill every summer. The sport took off — the media around it didn't keep up. Everybody covers the games. Nobody covers the people. That's the part I cover.
I read the game from inside it, not from the stands.

The players know us
Access and trust you can't buy from outside the sport.
Content for brands, inside the game.
Brands hire us to make the content cornhole's audience actually watches — integrations, features, and full campaigns, built from inside the sport instead of bolted on from outside. If you want your brand in front of this audience, let's build it.
