A couple of weeks ago I competed at the 2025 Canadian National Pistol Championships in Cookstown, Ontario. It was an incredible event with some of the best shooters in the country.

I’m proud to share that I:
🥇 Won Team Gold with my teammates Stuart Burns and Mark Hynes.
🥉 Earned Bronze in the top-tier Master Class — a tough field of competition.
These results mark the start of the next chapter in my shooting journey. The road to LA 2028 has officially begun.
The pathway is clear:
-
Nationals 2025 → setting the baseline and continuing momentum.
-
International competitions → building experience, testing myself against the best, and aiming for scores that qualify me for the 2027 Canadian National Pistol Team.
-
Championship of the Americas → where Canada will be fighting to secure quota spots for the 2027 Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru.
-
From there → the ultimate goal: earning a quota spot for Canada at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
But it all starts here, with one competition at a time.
Next up: the 2025 BC Airgun Championships in Burnaby, BC on September 12–13. I’ll be back on the line, sharpening my focus, and pushing for consistent results as I continue to build toward international competition this winter.
A huge thank you to my sponsors — Gibsons Butcher, Mycelyum — and to all of my Make A Champ donors for believing in me and fueling this journey. Your support makes it possible to put in the hours, travel, and training needed to perform at this level.
