I started playing paintball right out of junior high when some friends invited me over to one of their paintball parties. I was immediately hooked and soon thereafter saved up enough cash to purchase my first marker, a Pirahna Pro TS. I've since graduated to a Tippmann A5 and after years of playing 'walk-on' I decided what I really wanted out of paintball was to play with an experienced team. After drifting in and out of a few teams, I eventually came into Team Edge and was very impressed by the level of tactics and precision offered by team Edge. The members and the way they played the game was like no other out there.
My favorite paintball experience was during Clan Wars when my squad found ourselves surrounded in a gully ringed by the opposing force, it was a tough fight out of there and the enemy had the advantage of elevation on us, but we captured the enemy flag and made it back to our base without losing a single player.
