Editing Dave Youngblood (section)

=== Carter Machine and JT USA ===

Youngblood worked intermittently for [[Earon Carter]] at Carter Machine for approximately four years. He credited Carter with teaching him about paintball marker design and manufacture. Carter also built several of Youngblood's personal markers, including a chrome Carter Comp which he began using in January 1988.[1]

By 1993 Youngblood was head of JT USA's pursuit division. His role combined product and business responsibilities with regular participation in paintball. He was also involved in promoting or testing products for Crosman/Sheridan, CM Support's [[ViewLoader]] equipment and Pro Ball paintballs from [[National Paintball Supply]].[1]

A 1995 feature continued to identify him as manager of JT USA's paintball division in Chula Vista, California.[3]
