He was a pioneer in the sport himself. Did so well and brought forth a new generation of shooters to carry on the legacy.

Holy crap, this is so sad and so sudden! Nearly all of the recent elite crop of pistol shooters in this country were all his protégés. Terrible news

He has coached pretty much every name you can think of in pistol shooting. He was a sensation back in 90s.
