I started playing paintball back around 1995ish. My first marker was a Spartan pump. 14" camo barrel, oak wood sniper grip, a scope from my .22 cal rifle, a trigger job and a home-made burlap gillie suit with 5 x 10 round tubes got me my eliminations.

I was team captain for Squad 2 for NIB (Nine Inch Barrels) and still have my team AutoMag 68. Our team field was Camp Pendleton as I was the one who volunteered to help build the fields when Leon (original owner) first opened it.

Now I'm a graphic designer and operations manager for a private label manufacturer for soft goods (apparel, technical gear, anything that can be sewn, etc.) I have 4 great kids; 3 yo son, 15 yo daughter, a 18 yo son and I help raise my 17 nephew.
