Rich is a third generation native Nevadan. He started shooting competitive clay targets when his family opened Sage Hill Clay Sports in Reno, Nevada. Since that time, he has accumulated numerous Nevada State Championships, Out of State Championships, All Star Team selections, Grand Pacific titles, and a Grand Slam.
For the last seventeen years Rich has had the good fortune to be able to attend PITA shoots in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Arizona, and of course, Nevada. He enjoys the competition of trapshooting and the camaraderie amongst his fellow competitors. In addition to shooting a shotgun, Rich enjoys all sports, having played college basketball. When not shooting a shotgun, Rich enjoys Alpine snow skiing and pretty much any other outdoor activity.
