Staff Bios

I started working with Second Amendment Sports in the summer of 2002, and have recently been promoted to Assistant Manager. I have no experience in paintballing or airsoft. I have been known to pick off squirrels with an air rifle, though. I have four years of experience as a competitor in Olympic style archery. Consequently, most of my experience is with recurve bows, but a lot of the basic principles of shooting cross over to the high tech compound bows that we sell. I’ve fished bass all my life with my father, at Don Pedro and Melones lakes. I have had the opportunity to catch shark and cod in chartered trips, and Steelhead and Walleye in occasional trips. As for camping and hiking, most of my camping has been car camping in places like Hume, Yosemite, the Kern River, Dinkey Creek, Prairie Creek, and Sequoia. In fact, on one of my trips, I literally camped IN my car –a Honda Element! I’ve done some long day hikes in Yosemite, but I have yet to hike into a spot and camp. Most of my firearms and self defense training has come from Second Amendment Sports. I have taken Knife I, Knife II, Advanced Defensive Handgun 1, Advanced Defensive Handgun 2, Tactics 1, Handgun Retention, Shotgun 1, CCW Tactics and Techniques, the Womens Only Self Defense Options Seminar, Street Concepts 1, and the CCW courses. I also trained with the Karate class for a time, and spent a year training in CSUB’s judo class. I have some practical experience that can help our clients make good choices, and I can find good answers for the questions that they may have.
