ATLANTA — In 2012, Steve Hall was 46 and in a stage of life not unfamiliar to Georgia Tech graduates of his age. A chemical engineering graduate with an MBA from Emory, Hall was running his own private-equity firm in Charlotte, N.C., after 13 years in New York in the investment business for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. Married with two sons, he also was an avid player of ultimate (commonly known as Ultimate Frisbee), a sport he had first picked up playing intramurals with his fraternity at Tech.
It was at an ultimate practice that a teammate shared with him that a professional ultimate league was being started.
“I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s crazy,’ ” Hall said.
