Look, Ms. MacDanniel, I'm a professional writer! See, I told you I could write!

In 1999 I began my career as "paintball writer". I knew Bill Mills from tournaments and the internet. He ended up landing the job of editor of a new magazine, Paintball Magazine, which was an offshoot of Action Pursuit Games. He suggested I send him an article so that the new issue would have some meat to it. I did, and lo and behold, he liked it! So I kept writing, focusing on the areas of the sport I know. Eventually, Bill went on to other things and now Jessica Sparks is my editor. After the last couple of articles I sent her she replied asking if I was a professional writer or if I had a journalism degree. Coming from someone who is a lawyer, I was extremely flattered. I was then informed that some of my work would now be in Action Pursuit Games. Wow. Neat. I will try to get off my rear and write some more for you Jessica!

Currently, I have decided to focus primarily on the technology of our sport. I love the tech, guns, gadgets, and doodads of our sport. Eventually I hope to become the leading tech writer in paintball. I think that many tech articles out there are victim to a lack of thoroughness. If you ever read a magazine for firearms, you will see their reviews much more in-depth and informative. I want to focus on providing reviews of products, looking at it from all angles, listing all of the features, report the field performance, and assist the reader in determining if the product may be right for them.

If you have a product you would like me to review, or have an idea for an article or interview, please email me.

This is a collection of articles I have written. New ones will be posted when the magazine they are in leaves the newsstands. NOTE: These are copies of the submitted article and do not reflect any editorial changes.
