Aliases: Idiot – by my wife, and she uses it affectionately! Also used by my team members, not so affectionately, when they see that gleam in my eyes and know I am getting ready to charge.

Most heard quote in paintball: “I’m on your side you $^%@# Jerk!” (relating to being shot in the back by friendly fire).
Playing Since: March 2006
Best Paintball Moment: “At an indoor game. Rushed an obstacle, went over the top and totally surprised the enemy on the other side. Because of the close range he surrendered real quickly. The look on his face was, to paraphrase, priceless!!”
Worst Paintball Moment: “At an outdoor game. Forgetting (remember I am losing steps) the size of the outdoor fields and the amount of enemies, I tried the same tactic and rushed the bunker hills to get over the top. Boy was I lit up as soon as I started my assault. As you can expect, the look on my face was priceless!”
History: “Growing up I was involved with shooting Skeet and Trap with my Uncle and got proficient with rifles. Because of my proficiency, my job (in Public Relations) afforded me the ability to train with a special unit for individual personnel wanting to be, well, extra proficient. Paintball games were the venue for training. Due to new job assignments I retired from the special unit and did not play paintball again till I was reintroduced at Docs bachelor party. Being in the field again brought back special memories and I am looking forward to the camaraderie our new team will have.”
