Robert Bronson

I am ACL Pro Robert Bronson from the Mountain South Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I got blind sided by my Nephew and playing partner, Anthony Ayon at the annual family reunion "Horseshoes" tournament. I practiced my butt off going in and I showed up to find 3 sets of boards and a bucket of bags, ouch! But I fell in love with the game, hung up my shoes and we have been throwing bags ever since.

Eric Tscherne

I am ACL Pro Eric Tscherne from the West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.
From Encinitas, CA, Eric Tscherne is a 1st year ACL Pro. Originally from Twinsburg, Ohio, Tscherne graduated from the University of Cincinnati and moved to Southern California in 1999. He is a member of the Diecast Hall of Fame and Toy Hall of Fame for his work as a Hot Wheels Designer from 1999-2004. He is also well known for his work on the hit TV show PAW Patrol where he was part of the creative team behind the show and the toys.

Eric was introduced to the game of cornhole 7 years ago while camping with his father and son YMCA Adventure Guides tribe The Mighty Wappo of the Redhawk Nation. His passion and love for the game grew from here as he went on to host several charity events and tournaments while camping with this group. This lead to hosting events for friends and neighbors locally in North County San Diego via his 4 In Cornhole club.

In 2017 he started playing more regionally with Dirty Bags. From here his game grew considerably. Tscherne's game really took form in the 2019-2020 season. He was committed to playing top level cornhole and traveling. Covid 19 did not stop Eric. He spent the initial months playing many virtual tournaments and performing very well. As restrictions lifted, Tscherne came out hot and won his first San Diego Advanced Regional in June 2020, besting a field of 4 current ACL Pros and 3 more who would become pros for the 2020-21 season. Tscherne carried that momentum into the ACL World Championships in Rock Hill, SC.. He qualified on Sunday via the 1st ACL Pro Qualifier.
Tscherne is a member of Team Ultra having thrown Ultra Bags for most of his career. His favorite bag is the Viper. For the 2020-21 ACL Pro season, Tscherne is teaming with Andrew Robinson. Robinson and Tscherne have partnered in the past as both players were coming up. Tscherne has claimed a singles Regional victory in the 2020-21 Season and is looking for more.

Tscherne is married to a supportive wife Geri. They have 2 kids Madelyn and Roxton.

Robert Sperry

I am ACL Pro Robert Sperry from the NorthEast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro.

There are many words to describe Robert Sperry, but the best suited are tenacious, passionate, and experienced. At 51, “Bobby” as most know him by, is not only a father and step-father to seven children, he is a grandfather to 12 grandchildren as well. By day he is a plumbing estimator while at night he fluctuates between being a cornhole clinic instructor, woodworker, huntsman and fisherman, as well as a devoted family man. And that doesn’t also account for other cornhole leagues and tournaments he attends regularly as well. With most of his family still living in Virginia where he grew up, Bobby always makes time for them and visiting them every holiday and free weekend he can. Bobby is always moving, creating, and leading forward. He never gives up on the things he loves, and always finds the time to be there when others rely on him.
Bobby aspires to continue to hone and craft his cornhole skills in hopes to become a top player in the country and from there, turning his passion and tenacity for the sport into a full-time career. He has already made a name for himself, winning multiple tournaments in the United States as well as Canada which led him to gaining a Canadian bag sponsorship. Bobby’s love of the sport reaches beyond just playing, into an enjoyment for the comradery between players as well gaining more knowledge about how to be a better player as well as teammate. He is always looking for ways to exude his excellence as well as be a top leader in the sport. Two things he has proven time and time again that he can execute extremely well.
Robert Sperry is driven by passion and dedication, to not only the sport of cornhole but to everything he sets his heart and mind upon. And time again he has proven his leadership skills and abilities to guide the next generation of players to come. This drive will bring him to the top of the player roster before we know it, so keep an eye on him moving forward.
