"You can’t get so hung up on where you’d rather be that you forget how to make the most of where you are." – Arthur, Passengers (2016)
If I had to describe myself, I'd say corny. Simple as that. :^)
My go-to gun or gear setup is my trusty Canik Mete SF. It’s never failed me. I keep it simple with a Krydex battle belt, two pistol mag pouches, and one AR mag pouch. Enough to get the job done.
I first shot firearms in 2016 with my brother, who had been been a law enforcement officer for 2 years. Over time, I trained with stunt professionals who were former LEOs and military, focusing on firearms handling and weapons manipulation for film. In 2020, I bought my first pistol, the M&P 2.0, and that’s when the real journey began. Now, I’m proudly a Canik shooter, looooooool.
Fun fact about me is that I’m a filmmaker and an actor at heart. :^). I dream of building a community that supports and challenges each other, whether in competition or personal defense, while maintaining a culture of safety, respect, and skill. A place that not only produces better, more proficient shooters, but better people who inspire the next generation to uphold high standards and push them even further.
I roll with Tactical Playground HQ because there’s nothing better than shooting the breeze with your friends. No egos, just mutual support, self-improvement, and collective growth at full throttle.

“Memento Mori.” - Mr. Rasengun
I carry myself seriously, but with a touch of anime flair.
My go-to setup is a Glock 19 and a Sugar Weasel chambered in .300 Blackout. My story began when I first met Johnny Winn, and that's when my training arc started. Now, I roll with Tactical Playground HQ because I respect the members. They're serious about training and improving.
One fun fact about me is that I once spent Christmas in Cuba.
A dream of mine is to earn a Gundie Award.

"The Legs feed the Wolves." - Ashton Hammond
I would describe myself as a down to earth adventurer. When I shoot, my go to gun is the Black Scorpion, Race City Defense, simple!!
I first got into shooting when I was watching YouTube and seen Lucas Botkin shooting and thought it was the coolest thing ever! I wanted to try it out, but I didn’t know where or how. I then found a local on Instagram post a stage run, and I was hooked after a quick DM.
A fun fact about me is that I have been on Disney Channel, and a future wish or dream of mine is having a training facility one day!
To me, Tactical Playground HQ is the best people with interest of sharing a story to better the community.

" Don’t try, just do.” - Deshaun Jenkins
I’m serious while shooting. But when I’m not pulling the trigger I’m super goofy, playful, and chill at the same time. My go to Gun is the CZ Shadow 2 all done up by Cajun Gunworks. It’s such a versatile gun and it also looks soooooooo good!
I first got into shooting back in 2018 when I wanted to start carrying and I started working in Security/Law Enforcement. I wanted to actually be capable if I ever had to use my firearm. But in 2021 is when I started my competition arc and I leveled up IMMEDIATELY!
A fun fact about me is I can draw very very well. Many people aren’t aware of that fact because I don’t draw as much anymore. But I used to draw anime all the time. A future dream as it pertains to shooting is to have my own range that I can go to whenever I want and do whatever I want.
I roll with tactical playground because they are just amazing people. They’re super fun; they love anime and food just like me as well. Also they want to learn.
