ACL Pro Nico Mireles's Cornhole Biography

I am ACL Pro Nico Mireles from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.
If it wasn’t for COVID, I wouldn’t be playing Cornhole. I was hardcore into shooting pool and traveled to many tournaments to do so. Obviously, Coronavirus happened and the bars closed down so pool was put on hold. So me being me I had to find something else to play. I used to play Cornhole 10 years ago but I got a girlfriend (now wife) and stepped away from the game. Fast forward 8 years and I saw cornhole on ESPN. I thought to myself I can do that and googled how to get into playing competitively. Turns out there was a conference that next weekend so I decided to go. David Morse was taking signups and asked my skill level. I asked him what’s the highest level I can play in. Then the first person I saw playing was Jay Rubin and I knew I was in trouble that day. I went through a lot of whoopings to get where I’m at now. Now, David Morse is a good buddy of mine and Jay Rubin took me under his wing.
