​Colorado native, I was raised in Golden. I’ve spent my life working as a mechanic and am currently the operations manager of a large public sector fleet. My coaching journey began with little league baseball and now continues through archery, where I proudly serve as a Level 2 USA Archery Instructor.
I’m passionate about all things target-related, from archery to long-range rifle shooting, and I believe in the discipline and focus these sports teach. Archery is a family passion—my daughter competes on the team, and I love helping others grow in the sport.
