I’m just a good ole country girl! I love riding horses and shooting my guns. My dad was a green beret in Vietnam, so I started shooting rifles and pistols with him at a young age. Then, while I was working in a job in oilfield sales, I picked up my first shotgun with one of my customers at a benefit shoot, and the rest is history. It was very easy to get addicted!
