I started shooting ATA in 1979. I moved into the International sports and made the first World Class Athlete’s Program with the Air Force and I was on the U.S. team for 15 years, during which I medaled in three World Cups. When I retired from the Air Force, I knew I wanted to continue shooting and build a career with shooting. That is when we decided to build Shoot the Moon into the premier shooting vest and shooting accessories company that it is today. I then went on to continue shooting in the ATA and NSCA. I got involved in the ATA and became Colorado Delegate. From there, I became the Southwestern Zone Vice President and eventually became President of the ATA in 2020. It’s been an amazing ride so far and I plan to continue my involvement in the ISSF, ATA, and NSCA.

I began shooting ATA in 2004. I’ve won several Colorado State and National titles before joining the Army in 2009 to shoot on the Army Marksmanship Unit. With the AMU, I was able to travel to multiple international and national competitions. Since the AMU, I have continued to shoot trap and sporting clays whenever I can. I am proud to be a member of Team Shoot the Moon and even prouder to be a member of Family Shoot the Moon.

Born and raised in Texas, I started competing in shotgun sports at the age of 9 years old through the 4H program. As I grew older, my passion for the game grew as well. During my junior year of high school, I found out about USA Shooting and all the opportunities that were offered. I thought the fact that I could make Team USA and go overseas and represent the U.S. was amazing. In the summer of 2020, I made the decision to start focusing on Olympic Trap. Fast forward two years, lots of ups and downs, I am so proud to be a member of the Men’s National and Junior National Team! I am fortunate enough to be a 2x Junior Olympic Medalist and the current Junior National Champion. I also have been blessed to have gone overseas twice in 2022 and win a Gold Team Medal at the Junior World Cup in Germany, and recently a Bronze Team Medal at the World Championships in Croatia! When not shooting, I am busy getting my Business degree at Schreiner University! It has been an absolute ride so far, and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me! Go Team USA!

I began shooting ATA trap in the spring of 2009, following in the footsteps of my Dad and grandparents. some of my oldest memories of shooting are “running” sheets at the Maryland State Shoot with my Grandfather. At the same time, my Grandmother was the secretary and my Dad was an officer for the Maryland State Sportsmen’s Association (MSSA); this instilled a deep sense of service to the sport in me. As a result, I am an active volunteer at many of the shoots I attend, especially at the MSSA Homegrounds. I am also an an officer within my state association and MSSA’s webmaster. As I developed a love of the trapshooting community, I was rewarded with success. I won the 2022 Maryland Singles title, 2014 Maryland handicap, and four Maryland category titles. Furthermore, I have won numerous category and Open Champion awards in the Eastern Zone, Satellite Grands, and the Grand American. I made the 2023 Junior Gold First Team All-American and the 2022 Junior Gold Second Team. While in college, I competed on the University of Delaware Trap and Skeet Team. From my family’s teaching, I served as the President of the Trap and Skeet Team during my Junior and Senior years. While most of my shooting experience is in trap, I enjoy hunting, fishing, working on our family Christmas tree farm, and shooting skeet and sporting clays recreationally.
