James Hill
Professional Cornhole Player
James Hill's Biography
I am ACL Pro James Hill from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. Funny enough, I did not know what cornhole was until I was stationed at Kunsan Air Base in South Korea for the Air Force. For that year away from family, I discovered the bags and started throwing a lot. Upon my return to the states in 2015, I started playing in leagues, refined my throw, and won on a very consistent basis. Then, in 2018 I was introduced to the ACL and qualified to be a pro in my first season of trying. I am married, still active duty and have 21 years of service to the Air Force. I have two sons that love to play as well.
