I believe true mastery - whether in sport, mindset, or life - comes from refining both skill and awareness. While my formal credentials are rooted in high-level archery coaching, my real education came through lived experience: navigating chronic dysfunction in my early years, chasing success through career paths that looked impressive but felt hollow, and ultimately relocating from the UK to the US to eventually build Houston’s premier archery academy from the ground up. Through hurricanes, a pandemic, and personal upheaval, I came to see that none of it was random - it was preparation. That’s why X10 Archery Academy is still thriving. That’s why our community continues to grow.

My passion for mental mastery ignited in 2015, watching a winning athlete - not just her form or gear, but her presence. In that moment, I saw that performance begins within. That realization launched me into a deep exploration of the mind and spirit, leading to podium finishes and a lifelong commitment to teaching what I’ve learned. 

Finding potential with the Art of Archery is the Academy mission.

Using the Academy as a platform to change lives... To help others remember who they are through the art of alignment - physical, mental, emotional, and energetic. That is my mission. And I’d be honored to be part of your journey, too.
