Storm Hogg's Cornhole Biography

Vince Pacione

I am ACL Pro Vince Pacione from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I first started playing bags when I was 10 years old. I played in my first adult tournament at the age of 13 and in that same year I won my first singles tournament. Over the years I just played in small tournaments until Chris Novy picked me up at the age of 21 and started bringing me to tournaments with him. Our very first tournament we played together we won and it just got better from there. Over the years I met tons of new players and even adapted some of my new throw styles/releases around those players. Now the goal is to win as many nationals as possible and to make a name for myself to show to my son when he gets older.

Jordon Popp

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Jordon Popp and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. I started playing at family gathering. I eventually found a local blind draw which I ended up going 0-2 but I was instantly hooked on the game and the cornhole family.

Kyle Malone

I am Kyle Mayday Malone ACL Pro from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. My favorite aspect about this sport is the amazing people it has brought into my life. It’s not just a group of people, it’s a family. When I first started at a local bar as no more than an amateur, the crowd welcomed me and approached me with tips and advice to help my game. Now from there I’m on the pro circuit looking to be a world champion. Outside of that though my main hobbies are softball and fishing naturally since I do live in Florida. Without cornhole I honestly do not know what I would do on the weekends or even during the week anymore. At this point, I couldn’t imagine not playing.

Nico Mireles

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.
