David Dalu

David Dalu hunted and shot recreationally for many years before he decided to get serious about competition sporting clays. He has worked with Anthony since the late summer of 2018 and attended his first Nationals that fall. He punched into Master Class the following spring, and after a follow-up lesson, he placed first in AA Class on the NSCA Championship Tour and earned FITASC All-American honors in his first full year of competition.

David credits his success to learning the AIM methodology, hard work, and the support of a small group of friends and competitors. He believes Anthony’s teachings are accessible and translatable, and that no one can match Anthony’s competitive resume and passion for the game.

In his personal life, David spent 22 years as an ER physician and has raised three children with his wife, a pediatric ER physician. He coaches a high school sporting clays team, has taken several P&Y archery trophies, and is an avid fly and offshore angler in the Florida Keys, having won multiple tarpon fly fishing tournaments.

Matt Miller

Born into a bird-hunting family, Matt Miller began shooting a shotgun as a child while dove hunting with his father. In 2010, he retired from playing semi-pro paintball and transferred his passion for competition and shooting to sporting clays. He reached Master Class and took his first lesson with Anthony in 2017, before the birth of his first child, in hopes of developing a path for improvement despite the limited time and financial resources available to a new father. The results were transformative, and his shooting improved exponentially.

Matt began competing at the national level in 2021 and has since reached the podium at mega-blasts and state championships. He also made the All-State Open Team recognition in Georgia, among the most competitive states in the country.

Today, he competes at events from the local to international level, while balancing a full-time construction consulting career and being a full-time father of two kids. He continues to improve through Anthony’s instruction and mentorship, always grinding to achieve his goal of being among the best true amateurs.

Grace Corselli

Shortly after, Grace discovered competitive sporting clays, awakening her competitive spirit. She has made many sacrifices and worked tirelessly to perfect her game.

Within two short years, she was competing at the highest level. After placing third at the Western Regional, she qualified for the NSCA Pro Squad. She also won the California State Championship and, after graduating from high school, turned to shooting at Lindenwood University, a top collegiate program. She resolved to master all six clay target disciplines shot by college teams, and working with Anthony gave her the advantage she needed.

Anthony has helped Grace with mechanics and balance, advanced target theory, and developing the mental mindset of a champion. Recently, they devoted an entire session to preparing to win HOA at the ACUI Collegiate Nationals in Texas.

In 1996, Jared began competing in both disciplines and has since shot more than 160,000 NSCA-registered targets throughout the United States. After 10 years of shooting, Jared felt that he was beginning to stagnate and booked his first lesson with Anthony I. Materese Jr. in the summer of 2005. Anthony’s coaching has proved invaluable, and Jared has gone on to achieve many All-American honors, HOA at more than a dozen state championships, and placements at many other events throughout the country. He consistently is a member of the NSCA National Championship Pro Squad.

Whenever she encounters a problem, Anthony is quick to provide a clear explanation and multiple solutions.

Jeff Thomason

Jeff developed a love for shooting shotguns at an early age while hunting pheasants with his dad. One too many dirty looks from his hunting dog, Mollie, motivated him to try to become a better shot.

At 46, he shot his first round of sporting clays. His score of 47/100 and his desire to improve led him to Anthony’s first video, “Timed to Win.” Jeff watched the video repeatedly and incorporated the AIM techniques on the clay field. After some local success, Jeff sought out Anthony for in-person lessons. Under Anthony’s tutelage, Jeff won Colorado State FITASC Championships in 2023 and 2024 and achieved a personal goal of being a top 100 shooter at the 2024 National Sporting Clays Championship.

Jeff recently retired as chief pilot for the Denver Police Department’s helicopter unit. He has moved with his wife and daughter to Texas, where he is an instructor pilot.
