My competition shooting started while I was in my teens. During those years of shooting International Trap, as a member of the US Shooting Team, I was able to travel around the United States and abroad to places like Italy, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela and Egypt. I gained a lot of experience in the mental aspect of competition. This helps me out greatly today. For a year and a half I trained at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs in the hopes of making the 1992 Olympic Team. In that, I placed 6th and they took the top 3.
After that I took a long break from any competition. Starting in 2009 I wanted to get into pistol shooting. IDPA was a good choice. In my first year I made 5-Gun Master. I continued with this for a few more years then went to shooting USPSA more. USPSA offered me pistol practice as 3-Gun became the sport that I wanted to shoot.
Now I am solidly into 3-Gun shooting. 2014 was my second solid year of shooting 3-Gun. I have definitely improved over the year before. I made the 3-Gun Nation Pro Series this year and will continue on it this year. For 2015 I expect to participate in an equal or great number of major matches as well as the Pro Series.
