AJ discovered his passion for shooting sports at age 14, starting with American Trap at local gun clubs in Oregon. From the beginning, he was hooked—not just by the sport, but by the welcoming community around it. AJ quickly made a name for himself, impressing seasoned shooters with his skills (and his signature Crocs). In 2018, he joined the Mid-Valley Clay Crushers Youth Team, where he began competing across all disciplines while also shooting trap for his high school team.
AJ’s love for shooting led him to continue the sport in college, where he joined the Schreiner University Shotgun Team in Kerrville, Texas. With daily access to a bunker trap range, he had the opportunity to deepen his skills and passion for International Trap.
