Going Beyond the Sport

Growing up, my grandfather always took me fishing and hunting. He taught me all the basics and made sure I had sound fundamentals on all aspects of hunting and fishing. Fast forward to 8 years old when I began competing with 4-H Shooting Sports. For 10 years I competed in both Archery and Small Bore Rifle. I qualified to shoot at state nearly every year for one or both disciplines. Once into high-school I was able to compete in Trap for both 4-H and my high school FFA. I was supported by CZ-USA and shot their Wingshooter 12ga. I traveled to state multiple times to compete in both doubles and singles. For the FFA seasons I placed top 5 in 3 seasons. After high school I was full flung to enlist into the United States Marine Corps. My recruiter was helping me fast track a way to sniper school. When MEPS denied me because of a fluke in medical history, I decided to go on with civilian life and not wait around. I finally am in a place and job now that allows me to compete on weekends, so with some help from family I'm back and gunning for the top again.
