About:

Started shooting archery at the age of 11 and received my first bow on my 12th birthday. I shot on and off for the next 39 yrs. I’ve been a certified instructor for 5+ years and currently instruct at Next Step Archery as a Level 3 Coach.

Notable archery accomplishments and goals:

I have placed in the top 3 spots in numerous tournaments in the last 8 yrs. And recently took 1st place at the Washington State Archery Association Sate Target Championships in my division.

Interesting facts or interest outside of archery:

I enjoy camping with my family and fishing and crabbing with my son Ricky when we can. My wife and I are grandparents of 2 boys.

I’ve been a blood donor since I was 16 years old and have donated over 100 pints of whole blood. Most of the donations were with the Puget Sound Blood Center and some with the Red Cross when I was in the Navy.
