Advice for newcomers to the sport: Be patient and try to learn from your mistakes, if something seems to be off try to figure out what it is and eliminate that problem. Sometimes it is not very obvious what the issue is and once you get to a certain point it is more worthwhile to fix the little things that can add a couple points to your score, if you fix a bunch of those they all add up
Favourite Memory: Shooting his first 100 in prone or when he got master in prone.
Hobbies: Playing sports, basketball or baseball or snowboarding and sometimes badminton or volleyball.
