I attended a summer camp in NJ for 10 years and shot consistently each summer. At the age of 17 I started instructing and at the time I was teaching all of the classes for ages 5-10 years old.

Fast forward: when I was getting out of college I became an archery instructor at Gotham Archery for 2 years and became a part of their opening crew in the Manhattan location.

During those years I gained extensive bow knowledge and taught hundreds of classes, and thousands of students from all around NYC and the world.

I have been trained on multiple disciplines: traditional (recurve/longbow), compound, and even horsebow! and also learned how to teach knife/ax throwing! Recently I was instructing at Wild Captives in Industry City.

My favorite discipline is traditional English longbow and I have crafted my own wooden arrows while I was there!

I love the oppourtunity to teach such an empowering skill and believe it can be such an incredible skill to learn to add to life and art.

Currently accepting inquiries for assistance in coordinating scenes for Film/TV/Commercial shoots and personal practices!

Fun Fact: I have been shooting bows since I was seven years old!
