Years Playing: My kids and then grandkids got me into paintball many years ago. I was the father/grandfather that took the kids hunting, fishing and eventually paintballing.

Armament: With as many grandkids as I have playing, I always have a large variety of equipment. I still sometimes use the original Tippmann 98 I used during my first scenario. As a pre-M16 army veteran I prefer accuracy over firepower, so have never felt the need for wasting a lot of paint to get an elimination.
My goal is to go out and have a good time, and some of my best times are when I’m getting my grandkids or other new players into and excited about the game.
I played my 1st scenario game in 2001. Had a great time and wrote a story about it and had it published in Paintball 2xtremes February 2002, “There’s Something to Take Away From Every Game.”
