Sheri Judd comes to the NRA from Oak Harbor, Ohio, where she worked with the Civilian Marksmanship Program for eight years. During the snow storm in late December, Judd made the drive to Virginia to begin her position in our Education & Training Division. "I'm afraid I brought some of Ohio's weather with me, and I'm sorry about that," Judd joked.

This energetic mother of three has years of experience in national youth shooting sports programs and training. This, along with her knowledge of national and club competitions and relationship with military shooting teams, shooting industry vendors and equipment manufacturers will be an asset to NRA Youth Programs, Youth Programs Manager Larry Quandahl said.

Here at the NRA, Judd will be working with Cooperative Youth Programs – specifically with the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force JROTC Commands and high schools throughout the country; the American Legion shooting sports program; the VFW and YMCA youth marksmanship programs; and the Outstanding Achievement Youth Award.

Judd is a long-time "team mom," from many years ago when her oldest son was an air rifle competitor. Today, youngest son, Remington, 12, keeps Judd busy. After a busy workweek, Judd packs up her car with Remington and his high power rifle gear and the two head to Quantico, VA, where Remington practices with his new team, VFEMI Jr High Power team. Does Remington feel pressured to follow in his older siblings' footsteps in the shooting sports world? "Not at all," Judd said. "This is what he wants to do."

Judd and her three children are adjusting to the northern Virginia area. "There's more to do here as a family than back in Ohio," she said. "We like it here just fine." We're glad to have you here, Sheri! Readers, stick around. We'll be hearing plenty more from the talented folks in our Youth Programs department.
