NUESTRA JUNTA
Photo by Aaron Coleman
Utah Wild está organizado por seis miembros de la junta que se unieron por su amor por lo último y el objetivo de elevar la comunidad de Mountain West Ultimate a un nivel profesional.
Alex Palomino
he/him
Alex hails from Florida where he first played ultimate frisbee recreationally as a kid at the Boys & Girls Club. After finishing an undergraduate degree at the University of Florida and moving to a new city, Alex rediscovered the sport as a way to make friends and run around. In Florida, and later North Carolina, he played open club ultimate for a few years. After another move out west to begin a graduate degree (snowboard) at the University of Utah. Here, Alex joined the college team as a 28-year-old rookie and grad student. After finishing college eligibility, Alex coached U20 and U17 YCC boys teams for the Utah Swarm. Most recently, Alex is a father to a little girl who you will see at all the Wild Games. Otherwise, you'll find Alex biking all over Salt Lake City.
Erica Bindas
she/they
Erica is a proud native of Minnesota where, after giving up basketball, she learned to throw a disc. She started playing ultimate seriously in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. In the fall of 2018 after five years with the Fighting Gobies (captaining for two years), a BS in Mechanical Engineering, and an MS in Materials Science Engineering, they made their way out west to Utah. She spent her college summers at Camp Menogyn guiding hiking, climbing, and primarily canoeing trips throughout northern Minnesota and Canada, all the way up to the Arctic Ocean! Since then they have played club Ultimate with Utah Elevate, Mom Pants, and Swell. When she’s not thinking about frisbee, you can find her talking to her cat, Phoebe, or siblings, Ava, Sylvie, and Evan.
Jeremy Moore
he/him
Jeremy grew up in a small town in Upstate New York always running around outside looking for cool rocks and bugs and playing in the dirt. He eventually built that activity into a career seeking a BA in Archeology from the University of Evansville and moving to the UK to pursue a MA in Experimental Archeology. While living in England, Jeremy started playing competitive Ultimate, first with the University of Exeter Uriel and then the local club team Devon. After returning to the US he spent seasons in various locations before landing in Salt Lake where he splits his time between Archeology and Ski Instructing. In his spare time Jeremy enjoys traveling, hiking, photography, and growing his various collections of rocks, cameras, antiques and other curios.
Jesse Dewey
she/her
Jesse grew up in Sunapee, New Hampshire, where she fostered an early passion for skiing, hiking, dancing, and tossing the disc with her two older brothers. She studied Government and Computer Science at Colby College, where she was quickly scooped up by the welcoming Ultimate team on campus. She played with Colby’s Dazzling Asses for four years, captaining the team for two of them. After school, Jesse solo traveled the country for several years, sustaining her extrovert needs by hopping from one frisbee community to another. After moving permanently to Salt Lake City, she played her first club season with Utah Dark Sky. Frisbee has always offered her community, love, and security wherever she’s traveled, and she is excited to give back.
Quincey McKeen
she/her
Born to adventurous parents, Quincey grew up in various states and countries (Utah, Arizona, Ireland, Israel, Massachusetts, California, Idaho), before making her way back to Utah for college. She found ultimate frisbee at BYU and never looked back. Quincey enjoyed five years of CHI frisbee while completing a Masters of Public Administration after her undergrad in Wildlife Wildlands Conservation. She met her husband Jason while at BYU and she is so grateful to always have a throwing partner. Ever on the move, Quincey and her growing family spent a year in Little Rock, Arkansas and three years in Helsinki, Finland (where her two kids were born). She loved getting experience in the European ultimate scene, playing with Atletico, the Finnish women’s club champs, and PuTi, a mixed club team. Returning to Utah in 2023, Quincey now works as the GM for the Salt Lake Shred, the perfect combo of her frisbee and administration experience. She loved playing Dark Sky last season and is very excited to play for the Wild this year.
BeeJee Kratzer
she/her
Beejee is a SoCal native who grew up tossing a disc with her dad. (Rather, her dad hucked it and Beejee ran it down, much like a dog). Her dream was to one day play organized ultimate, and that dream came true at the start of her freshman year at Stanford, where she joined Superfly. Ultimate was Beejee's favorite thing about college, but she managed to squeeze in a BA in Urban Studies, too. She then lived in an 11-person co-op for a year, did the Peace Corps in Guatemala, and now plans to stay in Salt Lake forever. Formerly playing on whichever club teams and in whichever leagues her friends were, she is stoked to cultivate excellence as a player, contribute to the accessibility of the sport, and find family in the frisbee community of the Mountain West.
In her free time, Beejee learns Hindi, volunteers as a medical interpreter, hikes at a conversational pace, and tries to devise new marinades for chicken.
