I
began shooting in my early 20’s and migrated to sporting
clays in 1991. I strived to be the best I could and in
doing so, obtained one of my highest shooting honors at the
World Championships in 2003, where I placed 1st in
Veterans Class. Through friends and shooting colleagues, I
was encouraged to share my shooting knowledge; I now enjoy
providing private shooting lessons (almost daily) on my 500
acre hunting preserve. What continues to be my favorite
hobby has also turned into a continually growing business.
In the mid 90’s, I began customizing gun stocks including
fitting, painting and recoil systems to Beretta 303/390’s.
I obtained my federal firearms license and now enjoy not
only custom performing gun work, but also firearms sales. I
am an authorized Beretta dealer and offer Beretta shotguns
as well as apparel and accessories.
Although I have been a
general contractor for many years, I am fortunate enough now
to be able to continue my general contractor
responsibilities in a semi-retired capacity. This allows me
more time to pursue my passion for shooting, travel and
teaching.
I am proud to be an
American. I am proud to represent the United States of
America throughout the United States and Europe as a member
of Team USA/NSCA. I have enjoyed traveling throughout our
country and Europe doing what I love. I enjoy the support
of my family including my wife, Marina; children Angie,
Andrew and Philip; and grandchildren Cody and Elani. |
