2012 Calendar Selling Fast!

My 2012 calendar launched last month, and is selling quickly and getting lots of great feedback!

I attended the shot show in January, and WOW – I sold out in FOUR HOURS! I was supposed to be in the Dillon booth for two or three days, but I didn’t realize the calendar would go so fast, so I ended up only getting to stay one day!

Thanks to ALL of you who were so enthusiastic – I had a blast meeting the fans, some new, and many old friends by now

We are already halfway through our inventory, therefore, if you have friends who want the calendar, tell them to order soon – we will take at least 500 of them to NRA in April, meaning we will most likely sell out by summer at the latest, so get yours now in time for Memorial Day or Independence Day this year!

Here is a photo of Army Veteran Josh Olson and myself with Will Parks, Friends of the NRA Spokane, WA.

Josh will be participating in this year’s USA Paralympics, and is an AMAZING hero who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was injured in combat, but did not let that stop him – he is an inspiration to us ALL! This is why I do what I do…

NBA’s Boris Diaw and Phoenix Suns Photographer Barry Gossage

My friends NBA Player Boris Diaw and Phoenix Suns Photographer Barry Gossage, whom I have worked with in past years, have teamed up to open Studio 3D.

The studio offers full service photography, video, editing, graphics and production.

Boris is a talented photographer himself, outside of being a successful NBA player, with a passion for the craft, and Barry is a pro who creates incredible images and concepts.

Barry shot images for both my 2010 and 2011 pin-up calendars and will once again be an integral part of the 2012 calendar.

You can view Barry’s work at BarryGossagePhoto.com. Here is a photo of Boris, myself and Barry at one of the studio’s events!

2012 Calendar Coming Soon!

October 12, 2011 — My 2012 Pinup Calendar in honor of the U.S. Troops sold out quickly, and was such a success that we knew we HAD to follow it up with an even better 2012 Calendar!

Thanks to all of you who have been such a great support! Once again, profits from the calendar will be donated to New England Warrior to help support education and scholarships for our men and women in uniform and their families, as well as other needs.

The calendar is launching on this year’s upcoming Veteran’s Day, with full media and internet blasts. Make sure you get yours before they are gone because we’ve already sold half our inventory to fans who pre-ordered from last year, as well as to new fans whom I’ve met at several event signings this year where I’ve been honored as a special guest, including the NRA show and others.

God Bless our military personnel, and to those who continue to send me letters, emails and mementos from the battlefield, I am truly humbled and grateful…you are my HEROES!!!! Check out the Behind the Scenes Video when it is posted next week!

Thanks to photographers Richard Petrillo and Barry Gossage for the amazing calendar shots!

Fan mail from the boys overseas

Small girl, big gun…

May 27th, 2010 — OK, you’ve all asked, and I can now answer that YES, I FINALLY got to shoot the MiniGun! My fave guys at Dillon took me out to their private range where they train military personnel (and basically have a blast shooting at a bunch of fun stuff), and they let me loose!

After a brief round of instruction from Trey, our expert trainer, I was strapped into a Huey Helicopter and BOOM! I pressed the red buttons on the minigun and didn’t let go as a hail of ammunition flew out…needless to say, I released a lot of frustration on some very unfortunate vehicles in the desert that day!

Apparently, I was a pretty good shot, and I have to say it was one of the most exhilarating and fun things I’ve ever done in my life, not only shooting the gun, but just riding in an open helicopter with no door! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Thanks to Veteran Pilot and War Hero, Cass for his expert flying…Here are some fun photos from that day (oh yeah, and we managed to fit in a quick photo shoot, too, those pictures will be posted soon…)

2010 Calendar photos now online

My 2009/10 calendar sold out early this year, but due to popular demand we have now put the pictures online for you to view. If you like those shots, you’ll love the new 2011 calendar, but get yours quickly as we are already getting hundreds of pre-orders…Enjoy!!!
