I want to start by wishing Ron Kuykendall my heartfelt thanks and best wishes for the future as he departs the association. We as an organization and as a brotherhood are thankful for your dedication and devotion to the community through the years. From being the very first individual picked to staff the newly formed US Army Sniper School in 1987 to your exceptional role as President of the Army Sniper Association I thank you for your friendship, devotion, service and tireless efforts over the last 38 years that have brought us to where we are today.

Following an executive board vote, I have stepped in to fill the role of President for the immediate future and I will do my best to keep us on the right course as we move ahead. My biggest immediate priority is preparing our organization to assist the US Army Sniper Course as we move towards the execution of the 2025 International Sniper Competition and the associated events that make it the best sniper competition in the world.

I invite the entire community to converge on Fort Moore from April 4th – 10th to witness the best snipers from around the world as they compete for the title of best sniper team. An announcement will be forthcoming shortly for additional volunteers to help staff some of the events so be sure to check our social media pages. If you want to see the sniper teams in action, the opening ceremony and many of the competitive events will be open to the public. 

I also invite everyone to attend our vendor exposition on April 9th and 10th at the MWR Shooting Facility, Coursen Range, to see some of the latest technology and equipment available to our soldiers and interact with our defense industry partners who make the exposition possible. This event is open to the public and to the entire military community.

Thank you for your support and I am humbled to be leading this great organization.
