Brian's Story
I graduated in 1987 from Southern Lehigh High School in Center Valley, PA. Went on to sell new home construction from 1988 to 1992. During that time some friends at work decided to go try out Paintball. After playing for the first time I was hooked. Started playing on a regular basis and soon became the person who could get his friend paintball equipment. With the demand I decided to open Global Paintball in Emmaus, PA in 1992. With the immediate growth in the area the following year I opened a playing field as well. The store quickly became one of the largest and well know stores in the industry.
In 1998 I started the Global Paintball League (GPL) which to this day has become one of the largest paintball tournament events in the country and is the largest in the northeast. The GPL is still running today!

ntball tournaments I decided to play National events and eventually played at the PRO level in 2004. It was at that point with all traveling that I decided I needed a change and decided to sell off the retail store and switch to wholesale. So I moved to Lake George New York area where I became part owner of American Paintball Supply. We supplied paintball supplies worldwide and quickly grew to become one of the top distributers in the world.
In 2005 I also became part owner of the company that produced Greg Hastings Video Game for Xbox, Playstation, and other popular gaming consoles which is still being produced and available today. I am also a digital character I the game as well!
Then in 2007 my partners and I sold the distribution company to one of the largest companies in Canada. I have stayed on as Sales Operations Manager until this day.
