Best Paintball Moment: "Beside having my son join me on the field, my best moment was in High Velocity’s Attack and Defend field when I shot about 12 people picking them off and then charged over one of the trenches and surrendered about 15 people, ending the game."
Worst Paintball Moment: "The meltdown I had in the morning at Frost Fire ’08."
History: "I was born in Salem, MA, moved to Florida, and then New York where I have lived for 28 years. Have lots of hobbies: boating, scuba diving, water skiing, snow skiing, dirt bike riding, flying RC airplanes, photography, paintball and enjoy engineering and building just about anything I can get my hands on. Just recently I got into riding a custom chopper. I enjoy experiencing these hobbies with my three children; John age 10, Samantha age 7, Brianna age 5. And I am thankful I have my wife that supports all of this stuff."
