Griffin began shooting recreationally with his parents at age 5. His interest in target shooting turned competitive at age 11 when Griffin joined the Ontelaunee Rod & Gun Club Junior Rifle Team, located in New Tripoli, Pennsylvania. Over the next several years, Griffin’s marksmanship ability improved with frequent practice, support from fellow shooters and guidance from Ontelaunee head coach Tom Fister. At age 14, as a freshman, Griffin also joined and began to compete with his High School rifle team, the Emmaus Hornets. Now age 17, and a High School senior, he continues to compete in local, High School, state, and national matches. Next stop for Griffin is the University of West Virgina, where he begins his college career shooting at the NCAA level. Griffin’s other hobbies and interests include hunting, fishing, mountain biking and spending time with the family beagle Lulu. Griffin and his family are active members of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Emmaus.
