playing magfed and thought to myself, ‘I could do this’ so
I joined the small group that were posting videos. I had an
upper hand because I already had some experience with
editing since I was editing videos for video games. I saw
a lot of parallels between the video games and paintball.
So I took my knowledge and added some special effects,
trying to grab the attention of those that played video
games interested. My end goal in doing this was to get
maybe 1,000 views and making about 20 or 30 dollars so I
would be able to support my paintball addiction. It went
form that to me now, having the largest paintball YouTube
channel in the world.”
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPONSORS?
“Currently I am sponsored by Enola Gaye, I am looking
forward to using their smoke grenades on the field.”
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE EVENT OR GAME THAT YOU
HAVE ATTENDED?
“I was able to fly to the UK in November of 2014 for a
magfed game. It was a 2 day affair, and was incredibly well

run and a ton of fun. It is definitely in my list of top favorite
events. I was also able to attend an event in France. There
was a lot of really well ran games. Another one is the Cold
War Bunker that I was able to attend in Nova Scotia; all of
those are definitely in my list of top favorite events.”
“Really any event that is just well run, and very well
organized that just keeps the flow throughout the day,
those events are the ones I love. I am not a huge fan of the
super big games, because there seems to be no structure.
You just walk around, get in a gunfight and walk back, a lot
of walking and I am not a huge fan of that. I try to stick with
the smaller games that seem to have a lot more focus,
maybe 50 people or so.”
WHAT OTHER ACTIVITIES DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN
OUTSIDE OF PAINTBALL?
“I am a pretty big skier. I used to race downhill when I
was a teenager. After that I became a ski instructor. I still
love to ski, and now I am trying to get my son into it as
well. I would like to get more into kayaking. I have done
some flat water kayaking and some white water kayaking,
