I went to one practice, March 2, 2010, I had never even been to an actual bout, but I was hooked. I signed my life over to Assassination City Roller Derby that night. I started as “fresh meat” the next night, and was lucky enough to join the Lone Star Assassins home team in June of 2010. I have played two seasons with the ladies in black, half way through the 2011 season I was voted co-captain of LSA. I have skated with our B-travel team, Dirty Little Secret Service, several times and got thrown in a couple of fun themed mash-up bouts as well.

I am the Charity Liaison for the league, which means I get to set up all the charitable things we do. I have had a few injuries along the way, the typical derby knee, various sprains, what seems like millions of bruises, a couple of cracked ribs and one concussion later... I have never doubted that joining roller derby was the best decision I ever made.

Along the way I have read and researched wheels, plates, bearings, boots and every other possible piece of derby gear you can imagine. I may not know the answer to every derby gear question, but I sure have learned a ton. *cough* 965 boot *cough*
