get to know the mods

[unreal7]

Will the mods each tell us somthing about yourself.

[DasBaldDog]

Well........

My name is Frank Morrison (I am a registered member of my family's clan in Scotland)

I'm 19 years old, I attend the University of Memphis as History major. My favorite class is Japanese.

I've been playing paintball for about 10 years (back around the 3 year mark, I wasn't very dedicated and would only play occasionally)

I am a former member of the once 3rd Ranked NPPL AM-A Team "Tri-V" until we disbonded because of the death of our team captain (DON'T drink and drive people) and I had a MAJOR dispute with the newly proclaimed Captain (an egotistical psycho).

I've used just about every gun made before 1999 and a whole bunch of the ones after that date (they come out with one like every 30 minutes now), so if you need advice on just about any gun, just PM, Email or IM me.


I play for "Catch-22"/University of Memphis (We are not a recognized team cause the University is being cheap due to Tennessee's current financial problems)

I own a 99 Shocker S/F and an Eclipse Shocker.

My main areas of paintball marker expertise lay mainly in Cockers and Shockers.

I also have a gun shop out of my house, Where I do milling anno jobs and making Drop forward for half to 2/3's the cost of the ones you can buy. (My saying is why pay for something that can be made for half the cost threw me. Money better spent toward the sport than in the hype.)

Lance Davis, 37, married and the father of three children, one step son and guardian of my neice and nephew ... yeah, five children live in our house right now. (my step son is currently living with his dad in Hattiesburg Miss.)

My wife and I met while working at the same newspaper in Mississippi. We now work at the same newspaper in St. Petersburg, Florida.

I got into paintball while writing a story about a field outside of Jackson, Miss. That was 1996. I played on and off using field equipment until the fall of 2000, when I bought a Piranah STS G2. I steadily upgraded it until I didn't want to put anymore money into it. So, I bought a Rat Impulse about two weeks ago.

I became a member of PBReview about the same time I bought my piranah and have logged onto this site almost everyday since then.

I began freelancing for Crossfire Paintball Digest last year, and hope to start writing for other magazines soon.

Muckraker i was wandering if you were a reporteer for a paper or something cause of your name, well now i know.

[unreal7]

Wow thats cool Creek you work on guns and make drop fowards. I would one day like to learn how to build/repair paintball guns and accessories. It takes a special person to take the time to learn and perfect their skills.

[unreal7]

cool MuckRaker some of your articles were published in crossfire, thats my favorite paintball mag. Which article on which month? I also have an impulse (Not as good as yours of course) I ordered the Vff package plus extras from Johnny Rotten about a week ago.It must be real nice working with your wife in a job you seem to like.

[DasBaldDog]

I daresay that the purpose of this thread was to get to know the mod's. I'd like to keep it on-topic, no offense.

[MuckRaker]

Team Nonstop in the Feb. Issue. I'll have more articles running around April or May.

I just started inteviewing for a story on small stores that build custom markers, like the Rat. I talked to FOM, and am looking for more people to talk to, so if you know of a small store that makes custom markers, let me know.

Richard Smith, from The Frozen wasteland of Toronto Canada

Started playing either 3 or 4 years ago, I really can't remember. I started out with a Spyder compact that I upgraded the heck out of, then last year I ditched that for a Bob Long Intimidator. I've had experiences with pretty much any paintball marker available just from knowin the right people :)

Currently I play for the Super Pimps, my first and only tournament paintball team. We've been together about a year, and you can look for us on the podium at this years skyball

I'm 19 years old and still in high school (we do the 5 year high school system up here). I'm planning to go into Human Resources when I'm done with school, and someday I hope to open my own paintball field.

My interests are pretty much limited to paintball and my girlfriend of 4 years, though I do enjoy reading from time to time.

Currently I'm unemployed but I plan on getting a job in the near future so I can finance the construction of a painball gun I've designed and hope to market in the future

[unreal7]

can do muckRaker. are their any other mods who would like to contribute?

[unreal7]

I've been to Toronto a few times and love it. I really like the markets,the space needle (worlds largest), and the hockey museum. Mario L. is my hockey hero. I have heard nothing but good things about the Intimidator. Wow 4 years, i'm impressed! good luck on the paintball field, and when your gun hits the market I'll be in line.

[brad85]

john(creek) is the guy that fixes EVERYONES gun around here he is fixing 2 of mine right now, and his dropforwards rock.

[Killer Kat]

a.k.a. Billy Buck, Buckeroo, or Carp.

I'm pushing towards 45 years of age and have lived in a very small village my family moved to 4 generations ago. It's in Western New York between Niagara Falls and Rochester, not far from the Lake Ontario shore line. It's a farming community where my family own a dairy farm.

I have worked 24 years in Eastman Kodak Company in the Research & Development Division. Working here has provided me the opportunity to travel around the country and see alot of cool stuff (Kentucky Derby, Indy 500, John Glenn Launch) and meet alot of exciting people who have changed the world through their photographs or by being photographed.

I only became involved with paintball less than 2 years ago after I was approached by an old high school friend, who's played for 20 plus years, and persuaded to come and watch. Seeing my friends & their sons play, I thought "Hey! Here my chance to kick some bootie" And I got hooked BAD. I ran out got a Spyder, and quickly upgraded it, and have since sold it. Now I own 2 Impulses, and a Shocker.

I also enjoy music and have played in a dozen bands some that where very sucky and a couple that very very successful! We had opened up for (I'll be showing my age here, so get your parents to tell you who these bands were!) the Outlaws, Quiet Riot, Foghat, Kim Mitchell, Triumph, and at one point a band called Bad Finger pleaded with us to go on tour with them.
Now I'm content just jammin with some locals and making some pocket change at parties, or clubs on the week-ends.

I've been married twice, and divorced the same! I have two sons, Bill the IV is 21 and Zach is 19 and both are in college. They on occasion will come out and play with the old man but still can't take him!

I found PBReview while researching for my paintball fixations. I found peoples reviews very enlighting, I found myself becoming totally addicted to this sport, and would read and sometimes re-read thru the forums. I didn't become a member until about a year ago, and since have turned my back on all the other sites. Why mess with the rest? PBR is truly the BEST! :D

[Creek]

But kat the record is Rock and roll Has a rock and a Roll on kinda of a off white cover. Now who's showing there age here

[Crime Dog]

My name is Craig...I'm 25 years old, pushing 26. I'm the midday DJ and Underwriting Traffic Manager at Christian Hit Radio YES FM. We're a Christian CHR/Rock format (which means you ain't gonna hear no organ music on OUR station. More along the lines of P.O.D., Third Day, Skillet, Stavesacre, etc etc etc...) Been in radio since I was 16.

Married to Ga yle, (I hate having to edit her name so it shows up) a breathtakingly beautiful woman for 10 months now. Our 1st anniversary is coming up in April.

I'm taking classes through Global University currently, 2 classes away from getting certified as a Pastor with the Assemblies of God, USA. A "certified" pastor is the lowest level of pastor within the A/G. I'll be taking 10 more classes to be "licensed." A licensed pastor can marry and bury... Obviously, I'm a Christian. Sold out to my God and Savior, and darn proud of it.

Started playing paintball my junior year in college (6 years ago.) I rented at the time because I didn't have the money to buy my own stuff. After I graduated I stopped playing until just last April, when I picked it up again. I now own a Tippmann Custom 98 that's upgraded. I'm on no organized team. Rather, I play with a couple friends of mine on the weekends now and then. Our schedules are busy enough with other things, and our finances tight enough that we don't play as an official team, in any tourneys or anything. I just plain love the sport. Hoping to play my first big game this summer some time. We'll see...

I'm an avid reader, and I enjoy writing as well. Fan of "Lord of the Rings" (long before the movie came out. I've been a fan since I was in the 8th grade.) I also enjoy the works of C.S. Lewis...both his fiction, and his apologetic works on the Christian faith. Well worth reading if you're a critic/cynic. ;)

Any more questions, feel free to PM me.

[blinkpk11]

wow, this is a good thread. really get to find out the background of the people that deleates all the threads :D J/K

[C4pyro]

Well My name is Mike....I am 20 years old, 21 this may. I currently have graduated from high school and have finished two years in college and have a diploma in criminology. I am currently working at the University of Calgary as a Campus Security officer and gaining some life experience before I hope to get onto the police force.

I have been involved in paintball for about 8 years. The first 5 were really not serious. Just renting stuff and playing occasionally. The last three, I have really gotten more serious into the sport. I love all aspects of the game whether it be rec, scenario games, or speed ball, love it all. I started out with my parents getting me a Brass Eagle stingray for Christmas one year. I then quickly upgraded to a tippmann prolite. After a while I really got into the electro's, wasn't really into the mags or cockers, and I ended up buying a '99 shocker, which I have now totally tweaked out. I don;t work at any paintball shops or anything, but I can work on almost any marker. I have recently built a custom cocker for a friend of mine. Man what a learning experience that was.

In the last year I have become involved with a camp that has started running paintball camps. Last year the rented gear and equipment at a local field, and got ripped off I might add, but I was a cabin leader there and we had a lot of fun. This year I have convinced them to get there won gear and I am currently helping organize two camps for this summer, one week each. And Sid is working on those Camps with me. The Camps are a Christian camp thats aim is to keep teenagers out of trouble by giving them fun stuff to do over the summer.

I am currently on a team with 4 other guys, and in march we do our first real tourny. Sid is one of them who you all know. Then there is Jorynn Race who is occasionally on the site here, and another new addition to the site and team is a guy named shockerdave. Another person on our team we actually met on this site here in the Canadian forum. His name is Plasma69. Shockerdave we actually met at last years summer camp that we helped run.

I am a strong Christian guy, who loves God and try's to live the kind of life that he would want me to live.

I really like reading, sports, first-person shooter video games, and especially paintball, but you all knew that already. I started coming to this site about....8 months to a year ago, due to my buddy theflash, saying it was the place to hang out. I came here and had a blast chatting with everyone and ended up being on here almost everyday, reading and replying. I found this place to be a really fun place to hang out and just talk with people about paintball, and help out as much as I could, and eventually I started moving up through the ranks.

I love sharing my expertise and stuff, and just chatting with people. If you ever want to chat or have a question about anything, whether it being paintball, religious stuff, or anything, feel free to drop me a line.
