What did you learn about yourself the four years after Beijing that helped you find success in London and will allow you to maintain that joy of shooting as you look to the future?
I found my way closer to God these past four years and really in the past year I have begun to understand the opportunities that I have been given. I have the chance to impact people in a way that most do not. I have an experience and a story that can help people get themselves into a better place, not only by realizing their dreams but also by finding their way to God.
around and pinch yourself for the opportunity this now provides you and how it has changed your life?
This gold has changed my family’s future forever. We know that we have been given an amazing opportunity and we all plan on trying to do the best we possibly can with it.
company’s trademark approach for instilling the fundamentals in the next generation of shooters?
There are many fundamentals that we work on with our students, but the two most important things we try to instill are to first understand that you can succeed in anything you set out to do. Then we teach them how to apply all the things they learn through a true dedication to accomplishing what you set out to do.

The best part of any Olympics is getting to walk into Opening Ceremonies. Being able to walk into a stadium filled with 100,000 people screaming “USA!” is an amazing and surreal feeling.
