Proud to come away with the Overall Championship, along with Limited Optic and Open Division wins at the 2026 US Steel National Championship. 🥇
This one means a lot, especially being my first major win with Staccato/Trijicon.
Thank you to Staccato/Trijicon for trusting in me to fly the flag doing what I love. I came home with the Trophy but our engineers, gun smiths and several others are the winners. I’m just the guy pulling the trigger with a ton of great support!
Big thank you to Doug Koenig, Bob Young and all of the staff for putting on an excellent event. Shooting steel has always been a passion of mine and I appreciate the hard work of everyone who made it special. I don’t get to compete much anymore but being in that box, coaching myself/using self talk to battle through adversity was a feeling I loved being able to feel once again!
Lastly, thank you to my amazing family for letting me spend 7 days in FL training elite level operators and getting to shoot a fun competition. #blessed 🙏
Gun: Staccato HD P4.5

Another incredible year at the Pro Shooter Experience in the books. Grateful for everyone who traveled in, trained hard, pushed themselves, and made this event so special.

The last picture is my favorite 🤣
All jokes aside, I’m extremely grateful to be part of the TTPOA Conference, training alongside the Staccato Training Group and working with some incredible law enforcement professionals.
Being able to share performance pistol skills with those who protect our communities every day is something I don’t take lightly.
Honored for the platform. Committed to the mission. 👊🇺🇸
