My Biography
I grew up with firearms in upstate New York, starting with a Daisy BB gun and gradually moving on to larger, equally enjoyable calibers.
After the events of 9/11, I graduated high school a year early and joined the military, where I completed several tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom before retiring.
Post-military, I transitioned to Federal service and eventually decided to stay home after the birth of our third child in 2019.
