Wearing my Rolex and catching up with Joe Mantegna

I took some time off from training today and caught up with an old friend, Joe Mantegna. You probably know Joe best as David Rossi from the CBS show Criminal Minds.

Occasionally my life as an Olympic Shooting Athlete and my work as a Hollywood wardrobe stylist intersect. Joe and I have run into eachother a few times even though I don't work directly with him.

One year the USA Shooting Olympic and National Rifle Team came to my range in L.A. for training and prep for the next Olympics. I knew Joe enjoyed the shooting sports so I invited him to come out and meet the team and shoot with us. He enjoyed shooting with past and current Olympic Rifle shooters.

I'm not an autograph guy, but I had him sign a photo of the two of us from his last visit to my training facility.

Oh, and I wore my Rolex Air-King.

That's cool. Don't know him personally, but I like him in all the roles he plays. I don't have ties to anyone famous. It would be cool if I did.

Very nice story! Criminal Minds is one of my faves!

Most people know him for Criminal Minds. I know him mostly for his Gun Stories series on the Outdoor Channel.

That’s awesome!
