I grew up in Tucson AZ and was a gifted athlete as a kid. My dream was to be a pro golfer and some injuries in HS ended my golfing career and I didn’t go as far in basketball and baseball as I hoped. Fortunately some doors opened in sporting clays and I decided to pursue a shooting career after college.
From a spiritual stand point I grew up in a Christian home and gave my heart the Jesus at the age of 7 but there was no real growth in that relationship. Sports become idols in my life. As I pursued a shooting career, I realized my identity was wrapped around my performance. When I shot well I became very prideful. When I shot poorly sought other worldly pleasures apart from God to fill the void.
God completely broke me of my pride and living a life apart from Him. Jesus pulled me from the darkness I was living in and made me His child. He gave me a new identity and I’ve learned how to use shooting as an act of worship toward my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
