What is the player spotlight page about? Essentially I want to highlight airsofters in the community that are having fun, enjoying themselves and share different airsoft experiences. The purpose is to get us all to understand, we are all weirdos looking to just have fun playing with toys. So go ahead and share a bit of your airsoft journey with the rest of us. This is a judgement free zone. If you would like to submit yourself, please CLICK HERE

Location (City/State/Country)

Favorite Field (Name of Field and Location)
Extreme Airsoft Rhode Island

Why did you get into airsoft?
Played back yard and woods games in my pre-teens with spring guns then got brought back into it 3 years ago by some friends for fun, now that we were older and had our own money. Played some pub games until we got fed up with cheating and toxicity, which led me and my current teammate Coby to the speed field with a heavy influence by Pat from Extreme, in hopes of a better experience. Now all I want to play is speedsoft and work as hard as I can to become the best player and teammate I can be.

Favorite weapon you dominate the field with?
Hi-Capa

What is something positive someone has done for you in airsoft?
Lenny and Pat from Extreme doing anything and everything to make sure my team and I have a great experience and can grow as players.

What is something positive you have done for someone in airsoft?
Welcome new and younger players to the sport and do what we can to make sure they have something to look forward to on the weekends and gain the confidence they need to become absolute monsters in the sport as they grow. I like to put myself in their shoes and do what I would wish I could have had someone do for me when I was their age.

What do you think needs to be improved on in airsoft?
Some people just need to be more humble and realize we are one in the same and all here to have fun and grow together.

What is the best part of airsoft for you?
Seeing the same people every weekend and bonding over something we all love.
