BJ has been with Kansas City Crushers since 2018 when his son joined the team. He is an NRA Chief Range Safety Officer and a Level 1 Shotgun Coach. He holds a long list of shooting sports certifications, in addition to having qualified for the U.S. Olympic Rifle Team. He is a former NCAA Division I shooting sports athlete. BJ serves as the incoming Head Coach and is responsible for running the team’s weekly practice sessions.

I got involved with the KC Crushers in 2014 when my son joined at 11-years-old.  The journey began with a visit to my in-law’s farm where a neighbor brought over a youth shotgun for him to try. Immediately, he was hooked!  At first, he just wanted to come to practice and shoot.  He progressed to hitting more targets and attending events. He began devoting more time and dedication to developing his skills and ultimately, found a life-long sport that he truly loves. 

It is so rewarding to see the kids on the team develop and grow in shooting sports. They make lasting friendships and learn to improve their skills and work together as a team.  Families spend quality time together at practices, competitions, and travel events in a sport their kids love. 

Dave’s involvement with Kansas City Crushers began in 2019 when his oldest daughter joined the team. His youngest daughter followed, joining the team in 2020. He is an NRA Range Safety Officer and also serves as an assistant coach for skeet. In addition, Dave supports the administrative tasks of the head coaching staff, allowing the head coaches to focus on interacting with the club members. He also serves as Secretary of the Kansas City Crushers Board of Directors.
