Full Time Occupation: Eli Lilly & Co. Pharmaceutical
Part Time Occupation: Professional Shooter
I started competing in 1974 at the age of 13 in NRA Highpower, Smallbore rifle & later PPC with my Father who was a police officer. My first match outside a local event was in 1983 at the Second Chance bowling pin shoot. Now years later, I attend many matches throughout the year, all around the country, shooting a wide variety of disciplines. Shooting or hunting is something I could talk about or do 24/7. I live, breathe, eat & sleep about the next upcoming match.
