As the leading advocate for youth shooting sports, MidwayUSA Foundation is excited to announce the expansion of its staff, with three new employees. Two of the three employees have joined the Columbia, Missouri office and a new Program Manager will be overseeing the new western region.

Pete Eisentrager will serve as the Deputy Director, a newly created position based in the home office in Columbia, Missouri. Pete’s resume is diverse, bringing strong non-profit and business leadership experience to the Deputy Director role. As a lifelong hunter and recreational shooter, Pete’s true passion is mentoring youth in their pursuit of outdoor experiences.

Chance Cover, Logistics Coordinator, began with the Foundation in December and manages the Fundraising Product Grant Program from the Columbia, Missouri office. Chance processes orders and ships items that youth shooting programs request to conduct fundraisers in their local community. Chance was a resident athlete with USA Shooting, competing with Team USA domestically and internationally.

Dan Darragh is the new Program Manager, providing service to the Foundation’s western region from his home base near Boise, Idaho. Dan will assist youth shooting programs in 11 states, including Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, and his home state of Idaho. With the addition of Dan, MidwayUSA Foundation now has five Program Managers to better serve youth shooting teams across the country. Dan has eight years of shooting sports coaching experience and is a Level One NSSA coach.

MidwayUSA Foundation Executive Director, G. Scott Reynolds, is excited about new personnel that will help advance the mission. “Nearly 2,600 youth shooting teams rely on our funding to conduct practices, travel to competitions, pay for ammo, and cover other critical expenses that youth shooting teams incur. I believe these dedicated individuals are strong additions to our team, giving us a high-performing, robust staff that also shares a passion for youth shooting sports.” MidwayUSA Foundation is funding America’s youth shooting teams and with over $435 million endowed, generation after generation can be sure they will have the funding to participate in youth shooting sports.
