We hosted JJ this week and of course had to take the opportunity to sit down with him and recap the recent 2024 Carry Optics Nationals. JJ finished 8th overall and 5th among the Americans competing for the National Title. JJ was on the same squad with Team CZ which included the overall match winner and JJ's friend Eric Grauffel.

JJ recaps his match, the absolutely stacked field of competitors, and discusses some lessons learned. If you haven't seen JJ's video uploads of his stages from the match, including his breakdowns, you are missing out and need to check out his Instagram.
