Owner and founder of The Red Letter Project, Maddy found her passion for shooting during her time as a law enforcement specialist in the US Coast Guard. During and after her time in service, she completed her Masters degree oversees in the United Kingdom as the recipient of a Rotary Global Grant Scholarship. She is a 4x published author in addition to her shooting career. Her goal is to continue to grow RLP as a mission based organization, using shooting as an avenue to help spread the gospel.

Maddy is certified as an instructor through multiple organizations, to include being a Training Counselor for the USCCA. She teaches full time at the Sharpshooters USA academy in addition to the occasional course out of state. She is an avid competitive shooter and looks to include more women in the sport.

In addition, Maddy attributes much of her teaching abilities to her background in competitive cage fighting, skydiving, bullriding, and river diving. Specifically, her passion for combat sports has led her to spread awareness of the importance of understanding how to better defend.
