I have been a member of the 1 In 100 Gun Club since about 2010. I became a member when a client of mine asked me to shoot on his team in the LIT Charity Shoot. I went to the club and inquired about sporting clays because I wanted to know a little more about what to expect. I didn’t realize how addicting the smell of gun powder is!!! I began to make friends, which led me to the weekly shooting, and a group of people I consider family.
I served 3-4 terms on the board of directors, and then was elected President, going on for 3 years now. We have an awesome facility that we can all be proud of, and a sport we can enjoy with a diverse group of individuals that all have a common interest. A sport that requires discipline and practice, and is something we can enjoy our entire life. I felt it was important to be involved. I personally enjoy shooting waterfowl and game birds, and have traveled to several different countries in pursuit. I enjoy sport fishing offshore and wade fishing for trout, along with redfish.
At 68, I am still working to support my hobbies. I have worked the last 20+ years selling commercial LED lighting and controls. I represent about 50+ lighting factories, and support architects, engineers, and electrical contractors with products and designs.
I appreciate the opportunity to serve as your president, and if I haven’t met you, I hope I get the chance soon! Thank you, and be safe!!
I was originally a member of the 1 In 100 Gun Club between 1977, through 1982. I rejoined in 1988, and have been a full member since then. I joined the gun club board of directors in 1997, and served as the treasurer for my first couple of terms. I also served two terms as President, before serving as the Treasurer again, and have been the treasurer now for over 20 years.
I joined the board of directors to help build a better and self supporting gun club. We started with basically no recourses, and now, in my opinion, have built the finest small member-only gun club in America!
I founded, owned, and operated Newton Cabinet Works, Inc., since 1973.
Thank you.
