I began my shooting career in 1975 at the Frankfort Sportsman Club in Mokena, Illinois. I started shooting Trap and Skeet, and eventually began shooting Sporting Clays in 1995.

Over the years, I have had wonderful experiences in the shooting sports, beginning as a recreational shooter and then actively competing in the NSCA tournament circuit. I have also had many great times and met some wonderful people along the way.

I am proud to have been selected twice as a member of the Indiana All-State Team and in 2008 attaining my goal of becoming a Master Class Shooter in the National Sporting Clays Association.

Combining my military and professional experiences, I have been involved in teaching and coaching for over 45 years. I successfully completed the NSCA Certified Instructor Training Program in June 2000 and have been actively engaged in teaching since that time. I have also completed training and certification as a Zone 5 Certified F.I.T.A.S.C. referee.

I have successfully trained many new and advanced shooters, helping them learn and improve their performance in all of the shooting disciplines whether it be Sporting Clays, Trap, Skeet, 5 Stand, or F.I.T.A.S.C.

I look forward to meeting, training and coaching more students in the future and sincerely hope that you may be interested in taking a lesson and be included on that list.
