How did you get started with Argent Force ?

I met Mike Levy through my job. We soon hit it off while visiting his ranch in Santa Paula, then he showed me his paintball fields, then the military vehicles, it was over before he could finish saying "you should bring the boys and come play sometime" I said " Okay, When?" After I met the team Argent Force, me and my sons immediately felt apart of, and now Argent blood runs in our veins.

Tell me about "The Boys" and give a brief bio on each...

My oldest is Anthony who is 24 years old. He's married and has two beautiful little girls (yes I am a grandpa and love it!) Natalia 2 y/o and Abigail 1 y/o, his wife's name is Rebecca, Becca for short, because she is short. Anthony works at Edwards Air Force Base with JT3 a contractor who basically runs the target range for the jets. He currently lives in California City, CA and we hook up as often as possible at the Acton field to sling some Argent Love.

The twins Josh and Jay are awesome on the field. They will be 18 y/o in July 07' and are ready to join the U.S. Navy. Jay wants to work on aircraft computers, and Josh will be a firefighter. They love playing with our Argent Brothers as often as possible, Josh has no fear and will play point anytime, Jay is on stealthy mother, and has sniped many a role player.

I am extremely proud of the fine men they have and are growing up to be.    

Tell me how you got your start playing paintball?

All four of us popped our cherries on the same day almost 5 years ago as a birthday present to the three boys who share the same birthday in the month of July  

How long have you been playing?

All four of us again have 5 years experience. Most of that time with Argent.      

What is your role on the team? 

Whatever they need for us to do. None of us have any fear of bringing it to the other teams..My favorite role is to watch John's back. To me John is the sparkplug of the team. I have made it my mission to insure he stays in the game as long as possible, even if that means taking one in the vest for him!    

You have played in a number of events; any in particular stand out in your mind?

Two, first when we took the prison in a record 20 minutes up in Monterey back 2005 at the first game held at the old Fort Ord Prison. Second would be at Eighth Day scenario, when we held the other teams CP surrounded from both high and low level posts, and we rained down heavier than a hail storm. Gives me a wood and makes my heart pound just thinking about it!!!!

What is it you do for a living?

I work as a field representative for one of our Ventura County Board of Supervisors. I work with and assist constituents in her district, represent her in various meetings and functions. I also write her speeches and any and all written correspondence.

On my own time as a volunteer, I am a board member for two non-profits, one is an alcohol and drug treatment program for teenagers, the other is a family resource center where they help at-risk youth and their families with counseling and other means of support and referrals. I also coordinate a free tattoo removal program once a month, run by all volunteers, including doctors. This was established by the county in order to help people get out of gangs, or change their lives by removing (tattoos) to work. We have treated thousands of tattoos over the past nine years.      

There seems to be some common bonds in Argent as well as diversity, can you expand?    

I think for the most part they are fair. I do know that after playing side by side with my Argent Brothers for 5 years now, they are the fairest, best sportsmen in the sport of paintball, and I will put them up against any team(s)integrity! We all know what makes for a bad day at any field is lousy refs. So when you see a good ref, tell him or her, and at the end of the day it is okay to tip them. They are a rare breed.      

Any favorite fields of your you would like to share?  

By far its Fields of Fury in Acton!!!      

Tell us about your license plate.     \

ALetR17;s not get warm and fuzzy, that is on a strictly need to know basis, and if someone overhears it, or spreads it, then I would have to kill them and bury their body in the desert.
