 Like most Georgia Southern Boys, my father raised me early with a Daisy BB gun and tin cans, then a 22-single shot for squirrels, or a 20 gauge that was much more efficient.  So, guns and shooting have been a lifelong part of my heritage.  In 2014 Steve introduced me to USPSA and Steel Challenge, and I wish I had discovered them a lot earlier in life.  Not only did this give me another reason to go throw lead, but as a law enforcement officer it provided me with the opportunity to hone my tactics and techniques.  It also fueled a dream that had been festering for quite some time.  Now after a 27-year career in law enforcement, with the help of family and friends, the dream is now a reality.  I have raised my children around guns while teaching them the importance of safely, and it has always given me joy to take them hunting or watch them shoot.  That is why one of my reasons for developing Double Alpha Ranch is to allow other parents to do the same.
