I was first introduced to the sport of archery in 2004 when my
father gave me a wooden buck eye recurve for Christmas. His idea was to
introduce me to archery so we could hunt together and do something he
did as a kid. When I shot my first arrow I instantly became hooked on
the sport. In 2007 I began working with Coach Don Rabska in Van Nuys,
California. Coach Rabska helped me realize my dreams and greatly
assisted in formulating a plan to achieve my goals. In 2007 I went to
my first Junior Dream Team camp and became fully introduced to the BEST
method of Coach Lee. I now continue the BEST method training with Coach
Bob Romero whom I met at Indoor Nationals in 2007. WIth the support and
guidance from the Coach Lee and the high performance coaches as well as
many great friends I know I will achieve my Olympic goal.
