Schmidt has lived in the Triad for most of his life and began playing Ultimate in 2010 but wasn’t involved in the Triad Ultimate scene until winter league of 2020. Graduating from ASU and UNCG in 2015, Schmidt worked for PwC as an auditor for 7 years across the US and Australia before ending his corporate career at Boeing and hopes to use his time as a CPA to support the vision, operations, and legal requirements of TUF as a non-profit.

Since 2020, Schmidt’s time has been shaped by unexpected experiences and filled by Ultimate across the world along with a growing desire to help others by fostering mutual understanding and bringing together communities. As the DEI Chairperson & Social Director, Schmidt hopes to foster an intentional culture of support and authenticity that attracts and retains others into our community.
