Joyce Hernandez - Episode 222 of Hunters HD Gold Behind the Lens
In this episode of Hunter’s HD Gold: Behind the Lens, Brian sits down with Joyce Hernandez to talk about her journey in the shooting sports. Joyce shares her background growing up in Miami with Cuban parents, her brother’s path from mortician to police officer, and how her own interest in firearms started later in life. She reflects on how video games, personal protection, and a love of competition eventually led her to IDPA and the shooting community.
Joyce and Brian dive into her first match experiences, becoming a safety officer, helping new shooters, and eventually stepping into leadership as a state coordinator. They also touch on family influences, handling challenges, the importance of customer service in running matches, and building camaraderie within the shooting sports.
