I've only won one National Shoot and that was the Archery Shooter Association or the ASA's Colorado Pro Am 3-D Tournament. For health reasons I've had to step out of the Archery tour for a year or so. I was infected with Lyme Disease in 1994, and wasn't diagnosed until 1996. I now have chronic Lyme, that I believe I have under control. It's been a long struggle.

I run classes in my home town for kids all summer long. I am a certified instructor for archery. I teach basic archery and advanced archery to youth. This has always been on a volunteer basis, I haven't ever asked for a fee.I travel around Colorado and do seminars at Middle Schools and High Schools for Archery in general. I'm not allowed to bring up the subject of hunting, but if a child asks I'm allowed to answer. This is also on a Volunteer basis.

I started a club 3 years ago called "Sportsmen for Humanities." We choose a recipient that unfortunately needs help of some sorts. We put on a 3-D shoot, lunch and silent auction. All proceeds go to the recipient. We haven't held 1999's as of yet. The last two recipients were a 1 1/2 year old with cancer, and last year a 29 year old man with a family of 6 with leukemia. We don't raise much, but every bit helps. It is nice to know that each recipient beat the odds and are doing well.

I have harvested nice animals, to me all animals taken with a bow are world records! I was fortunate enough to harvest a Black Bear that is Pope and Young. He scored 20 7/16 inches and weighed about 450-500 lbs. I also harvested a really nice 8 point Whitetail buck in Alberta. I'm not really a trophy hunter, and just enjoy hunting in general. I will harvest a doe just as fast as a buck.
