Interview with Ohio Legend Drew Hire

With so much drama going on this off-season, we caught up with Ohio Legend Drew Hire to see what he’s been up to, where he’s headed, and where he got his roots.

Where did you grow up playing? What teams? What players?
-I grew up playing at Great Lakes Paintball in Bellevue, OH and at Toledo Indoor Paintball: which is where Tippmann Effect was located out of. That’s how I got my break. My buddy Cody Szmik and I played all the local tournaments in the area and that’s how we got noticed by Tippmann which was (fortunately) a full ride team. From there it was smooth sailing.

Clevelanders GET EXCITED! Elite Action Sports is coming soon, and they mean business. The ability to invest six-figure numbers into an indoor field isn’t a luxury that most paintball industry members have, but there are exceptions. Josh Tachdjian and his partner Aaron Ferraro intend to change the Ohio paintball scene as we know it.

“Expect a 40,000+ square foot facility complete with two X-ball fields, cleanliness to the extreme, and above-par amenities in the VERY near future” Tachdjian reveals.

MUCH more to come as deals are made, so stay tuned to be a part of the grand opening of Elite Action Sports’ new facility!
