Career
Plys began his international career as a skip of the American junior team at the 2004 World B Championships in Tårnby . After two participations in the Junior World Championships in 2006 and 2007 , he was able to win the gold medal as Skip in Östersund in 2008 .

Plys won the US Olympic Curling Trials on February 28, 2009 with the team of Skip John Shuster, Third Jason Smith , Second Jeff Isaacson , Lead John Benton , and played with this team at the XXI.
