From left to right: Erin Burke, Jason Kurtis, Lauren Riordan, Anna Fisher and Ashley Bristol
Erin Burke (That’s What She Said…) –La Presidente
Hey everyone! Your president here. This is my fifth term as District President (apparently there are no term limits in DCK). I like to think of my job as ensuring that everyone gets skunked and has so much fun they don’t remember it. Based on previous data, I think we’re succeeding.
Why you should know me
Haha, other than the free drinks?
Why you should fear me out on the fields
My great habit of nailing the ball right into peoples’ heads. Yeah, it might not be legal, but you should at least learn how to duck. Oh, and if you forget to take home the equipment, I will unleash my wrath.
What I do when I’m not kicking
I get to test human DNA! Yep, that’s right, good old ATCG! (10th grade biology flashback anyone?)
Position
Wait, what? There are positions in kickball? I thought we just milled about the field until going to the bar. In all seriousness, they usually put me where I won’t get into trouble.
Lauren Riordan (That’s What She Said…) – VP of Communications
This is my fifth season with DC Kickball…third season on the board. I’ve taken the reigns as email guru and have been dubbed the VP of Communications. Almost every bit of information that needs to be relayed to teams and/or captains comes from me. I’m working hard to become a friend of your inbox
Why you should know me
Other than being a wealth of DCK information (or at least knowing who does have the information), I am a one-flip wonder at The Exchange…and have found myself flipping for any team who will have me. (And getting them to the W).
Why you should fear me out on the fields
I can make it to first base in 0.005 seconds… And I will always show up to the games in spandex.
What I do when I’m not kicking
Event Coordinator by day, Karaoke Diva by night.
Position
I am half of TWSS’s right field wonders…
Ashley Bristol (That’s What She Said…) – Social Chair and Awkward Avoidance Officer
Here is how we would describe smash - she’s a Leo (rawwwr!), likes men who can stand her inordinate obsession with Virginia Tech football (come on, at least pick a real football team Ash!), and wears spandex A LOT! Oh yeah, and she kicks ass on the fields and the flip cup table.
Anna Fisher (Balls Deep) – Charity Event Coordinator
My name is Anna – but for those of you that played in previous years, you may remember me as the loud-mouth native Pittsburgher who was the co-captain of Balls Deep. More often than not, I’m known for breaking out in song and dance while waiting for people to get organized for flip-cup (I personally blame the ADD), occasionally dancing like a fool to Michael Jackson or Your Love by The Outfield, and organizing large-scale games of Speed Quarters. A little about me – I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to PITT, relocated to DC in 07, and have taken on the role of corporate recruiting for IT Government contracts. This is my 2nd season on the board, and 3rd season with DCK, and I’m ready to mix it up again with some great charity events - so please make sure you participate! :)
Why you should know me
Other than the fact that I’m just all around wicked awesome (that’s right – I said wicked), I’ll be the one to talk to if you’re interested in participating in any charity events and giving back to the community. Although we are quite the bunch of partiers, we’re still good people and can’t wait to help our Nation’s Capitol and its charities out whenever we can. If you have any great ideas or charities that you currently support, feel free to contact me, and I’ll do my best to pull something together.
Why you should fear me out on the fields
I don’t catch like a girl. I may or may not be known for extreme intimidation as well.
What I do when I’m not kicking
I get people jobs in the DC Area, so if you’re looking for one, I’m your go-to. Especially if you’re in IT.
Position
Pitcher – oh, and GO STEELERS. Being from Pittsburgh, I feel I’m obligated to say that at least once in here.
Jason Kurtis (The A Team aka TAT) – Special-Ops Officer
This is now my 6th season playing DCKickball. For those of you that played in the past, you may know me as the captain of the red team, blue team or TAT. I went to American University and have been living in the DC area going on 7 years now. I work as a Producer and Video Editor at National Geographic.
Why you should know me
You should know me because I enjoy using extravagant gambles/strategies in games (kickball included) that often just barely help, and more often blow up and make thing much worse. Either way its entertaining.
Why you should fear me out on the fields
My team has won 3 out fo the last 4 DCK District Championships. I guess you could say we are the team to beat.
