When I was in high school, I started competitive shooting with the Army JROTC program. I joined the U.S. Navy after high school, and after a 22-year career, I was able to become a U.S. Navy JROTC Instructor and Rifle Coach. As a coach, my teams have had many successes at the local, state, and national levels of competitive air rifle.

I have coached the following teams and accomplished: three Navy JROTC Nationals, two JROTC Nationals, three CMP Western Regionals, and one CMP National match.

Married and have one son. After completing my military service, I returned to school and earned a master’s degree in business administration. I also teach management classes at the local Community College.

I wanted to teach and pass on the knowledge and lessons learned from my life experiences, one of the reasons I became a high school teacher. Competitive shooting is a notable method to build youth’s self-esteem and confidence. I have seen youth develop positive changes and become more confident due to youth marksmanship programs. I want to help facilitate my positive experiences with shooting programs across the State of Nevada.

Support local, CMP Cup matches, CMP State, and Nevada school districts\' air rifle teams with support as needed. Build a junior shooting program that brings air rifle shooters from both northern and southern Nevada and expose age-appropriate youth to competitive shooting programs such as air rifle. I look forward to working with the entire shooting community.
