I was selected to represent the National Guard Bureau on the “All Guard” International Combat Team for the 2026 Armed Forces Skills At Arms Meeting (AFSAM). This competition brings together our foreign allies to further sharpen marksmanship skills and determine who is the best. The most skilled shooters in the world are invited to this event, being able to share the line with these titans of the sport was the greatest honor I have had in my shooting career
@ajsmit__ @rhodanj @jorybruijnderink @s.b.devries @peter19xx @a.m.solis10 . Thank you
@ngmtc for taking a chance on me and believing in me. Thank you to
@conationalguard @coarng_1860 for supporting my shooting career and allowing me to further my marksmanship skills to bring back to the unit level to make our state and units better. Without the guidance, mentorship, patience, and elite knowledge of those that came before me, I would not be where I am as a shooter or as a man. Words aren’t enough and it’s impossible to include everyone, thank you for everything:

For two weeks, the Alpha Team, comprised of 2 shooters from Colorado, 1 from Missouri, and 1 from Ohio, relentlessly competed in strenuous combat matches, making virtually no errors. Alpha team took 1st:
@michael.richey.779 2nd:
@dontshootbaddino 3rd:
@n.mcalister and 4th: myself, as individuals and 1st in every event and trophy except 1 match. The dedication, discipline, and focus that this team displayed is matched by none. If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Alone, I’m just some guy and nothing special. But with this team, I am an International Champion.
Proud of this team. Proud to represent Colorado. Proud to bring it back to the line to train the future and instill the standards that make us the most lethal force in the world.
