Background
Modlin found cornhole while camping on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. He started practicing with his friend Steve McCombs, and won his first event, a small tournament at a local festival. There he met George Cowand of Midway, NC, and the two went on to play many local events together. From there, Modlin moved into ranked competition and then onto the ACL Pro Tour in 2017. He’s played on national TV, made the first USA National Team, and won world titles in his 50s. Off the boards, he loves spending time with family, and his favorite color is blue.
