About Valarie

Biography

Her life shifted in 2018 when Valarie and Nate broke ground on Bevel Craft Brewing in 2018. Their priorities were fully aimed on this new business, and therefore caused them to step away from the disc golf touring lifestyle. However, Valarie has still continued to involve herself in the sport any way she can. Valarie donates her time to Universal Play Disc Golf, a non-profit driven to educate future young players. She has also joined forces with the Disc Golf Pro Tour and has been the lead women’s expert commentator since the 2019 season. On top of all this, Valarie received the highest honor in the sport as she was inducted into the Disc Golf Hall of Fame class of 2020.
