I joined the Army in August of 2001, and graduated Infantry OSUT in December of 2001. I was stationed at Fort Campbell from 2002-2009. In that time I deployed Three times for a total of 38 months over seas in Iraq. I have also been stationed at Fort Benning, GA, Fort Sill, OK.

While there I served as a rifleman, SAW Gunner, Sniper, Sniper Team Leader, Sniper Section Leader, Sniper Employment Officer, Sniper Instructor, Platoon Sergeant and Drill Sergeant. I have been awarded the Order of Saint Maurice, Distinguished member of the Regiment for the 502inf Regt.

I am a Graduate of the US Army Sniper School, US Army Long Range Marksman Course, Sniper Employment Leaders Course, Combat Tracking and Counter Tracking, Airborne School, Pathfinder School, Air Assault School, Primary Leadership Development Course, Basic Non-commissioned Officer Course, Drill Sergeant School.

I found early on in my career that I was really adept at shooting. I quickly found myself on a fast track to a sniper team. I developed a lot of my technique for shooting during these younger years. I used to want to shoot fast, shoot far and do it again. I helped rewrite several company and battalion Marksmanship Programs, I also helped to develop, implement and help oversee the implementation of the new Sniper Manual, which had not been changed since the 90's.

Now that I have retired from the military, I have decided to bring what I know to everyone else. I want to teach you how to be confident. Confident in your ability to protect yourself, your family and your property. I want to show you that you are capable of shooting out to 1000 yards, even if you have never done it before.

Most of my days are spent training, writing blogs and reviews within our Community. Our blogs are written as conversation. We encourage you to comment, to tell us how you do it. This is how we, as a community, get better! There's a 1,000 ways to shoot, I'm just showing you how I do it.
