Program Lead

 

Our 2024 Adapted Air Rifle Season is graciously being led by Brad "Casper" Vande Hei.  To many of you, Casper may be a familiar sight as he has participated in Valor Games Southeast, as an athlete, from the very beginning. This year, in addition to serving as a Sport Head for the 2024 Valor Games Air Rifle Competition, he is stepping up to lead our Adapted Air Rifle Program.

 

Casper has been working closely with John Book to learn all of the tips and tricks of the trade so that he can keep the tradition of athlete success alive.

 

In addition to his expertise on the range, Casper also runs a successful business training Service Dogs; so, if you're coming to the program, you may see him attended by one of the dogs he's training.
