Competition athlete & dedicated coach
“Sharing my passion for competitive shotgun sports is a privilege, but coaching young athletes is where the real magic happens. Watching their confidence rise, their discipline sharpen, and their love for the sport ignite reminds me that we’re not just building competitors—we’re shaping the next generation of leaders. Every pull of the trigger becomes a lesson in focus, courage, and character, and I’m honored to help guide them toward a future brighter than any trophy.”

About Me
My journey in competitive shotgun sports began at the age of 15 as a founding member of the George Walton Academy Clay Target Team, later competing with Walton County 4‑H and Muddy Roads SCTP and earning multiple awards in Skeet, Trap, and Sporting Clays. I’m now a sophomore at Emmanuel University majoring in Business with a minor in Agriculture, competing on the EU Clay Target Team and traveling the Southeast for NSCA events, where I’ve risen from D to A class with podium finishes at many major competitions. I’m a certified 4‑H and SSSF coach and enjoy coaching teams that gave me my start, GWA, Walton County 4‑H, and Muddy Roads SCTP. Off the range, I’m an avid outdoorsman who loves hunting, camping, trail riding, and wrestling, and I contribute to print and online publications to help introduce the off‑road and hunting community to the world of competitive clay target sports.
Hobbies
I’m an avid outdoorsman—shaped by years of hunting, backpacking, and exploring the wild places that have taught me resilience, respect, and responsibility. As an Eagle Scout, those lessons became a foundation for leadership and service, and they continue to guide me as an outdoor conservationist committed to protecting the land that shaped me. The outdoors isn’t just where I spend my time; it’s where I learned who I am, and it’s where I work to ensure future generations can experience the same freedom, challenge, and wonder.
