This week's #StaffSaturday is the one and only Don! Don's began throwing in 2017 when he came into Urban Axes for a group event. He was hired 2018 and quickly became an important, full-time member of the staff. He runs multiple leagues for us and was recently promoted to be part of the management team in Philly (congrats!). Before working at Urban Axes, Don was a car mechanic and still puts that knowledge to good use. Make sure you ask him about Eastern State Penitentiary i...f you have him as your coach because he used to work there during Halloween and can tell you anything you want to know! Thanks, Don, for all your hard work at Urban Axes. We are so glad to have you as part of the team!

We are excited to introduce you to Kenny from Baltimore - today's featured league member. 2020 has been a lot of things for a lot of people, but that didn't stop Kenny from putting in work this year: throwing his first 81, knocking on the door of a championship, and becoming a competitive threat in the Baltimore community. Speaking of work, when he's not throwing axes, Kenny works for the Post Office! We just wanted to use this post to say a quick thank you to Kenny (and all supply chain folks, really) in what we are sure is an incredibly difficult and stressful time (especially in 2020!). Thanks for being a part of our community, Kenny, and we can't wait to watch you get better and better!

We did it. We've made it to the last Monday of 2020.

This week's league member spotlight is shining brightly on Brian B - or as his fellow league members know him - Beefcake Brian! Brian has been throwing in Philly since 2018. He is a beloved league members known for being one of the kindest people in our community. Brian always comes to league prepared with a box of cookies (he hates vegetables), for which we are all very grateful. As a UPS employee for the last 25 years, we want to say a special thanks to Brian during this crazy holiday season! We are so happy to have you as part of the Urban Axes family!

This week, we have a big #StaffSaturday shoutout to Kevin V - aka Old Kev. Kevin has been with us for nearly 4 years! When he isn't teaching people how to throw axes, Kevin is doing amazing things working for Fab Youth Philly - an organization that hires young people and trains them in playful learning who are, in turn, empowered to engage and work with kids on play streets in Kensington and West Philly. His other loves include his wonderful dog, coffee, and red wine! Thanks for all that you do, Kev, at Urban Axes and in Philly!

HAPPY 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO URBAN AXES PHILLY!! For 4 years, we've been bringing our love of axe throwing to tens of thousands of people in the Philadelphia area as the original axe throwing place that started it all in the US.

Let's cut the cake and raise a glass to many more years of bullseyes ahead!

This week’s Staff Saturday is our own Kyle aka Sketchy Carl. Originally from the Scranton/WilkesBarre area, Kyle is currently enrolled at Temple University seeking a degree in film. He takes his love of film and expresses his vision in many other side projects including putting together music videos. When he's not coaching or making videos, Kyle can usually be found skateboarding, camping, hiking, playing video games, or just relaxing to the sweet sounds of some fantastic metal. Thank you, Kyle, for being part of the team!
