I'm the co-founder of Maryland Beer Pong Promotions (MDBP) and own and operate the website mdbeerpong.com. For the past 4 years, MDBP has run over 100 tournaments and 15 leagues in Maryland and DC. Each year MDBP hosts the Official Maryland State Beer Pong Championships in which the top teams in the state compete for their chance to represent Maryland at the World Series of Beer Pong (WSOBP).

I've been playing beer pong since the age of 21 at Bucknell University. Upon my return to Maryland I started organizing and running tournaments until MDBP was born. My business partner, Jim and I formed the team 'Dixie Normous' in 2005 and in our career we've won countless tournaments in Maryland including 6 straight finals appearences in MDBP League Championships (4 wins).  Dixie Normous has participated in the all three WSOBP's and have placed 5th, 25th, and 5th against the world's toughest competition. Most recently, Dixie Normous won the 2008 Summer Cup in Jamaica, Negril which carried with it a $5,000 prize.
