From the age of 15, self-proclaimed tomboy Michelle Viscusi wanted to follow in her dad’s footsteps and become a cop. She joined the Army National Guard right out of high school and spent some time as a Military Police officer with the Border Patrol. She received all of her weapons training in the military. Michelle found big fame as a season 4 contestant on the TV Show Top Shot. Then her success continued as she found a home as a top competitor and professional shooter for Team Glock.
Michelle is currently a 31 Bravo,Miltary Police officer, in the Army. She has studied Criminal Justice at Chandler-Gilbert College and Arizona State University. She loves the Twilight series of books as well as the auther James Patterson. Her favorite shows are: True Blood, Heroes, Top Shot, Americas next top model, Teen Wolf, Storage Wars, and Historys Top Shot. Michelle’s music taste runs the gauntlet. Some of her favorite artists: LiL Wayne, Temptations, Dean Martin, Waka Flacka Flame, and Rhianna.
GLOCK announced its selection of Michelle Viscusi, the 22-year-old Gilbert, Ariz., resident, to join the handgun manufacturer’s Practical Shooting ensemble, Team GLOCK. Viscusi, who was featured on the Season 4 hit series TOP SHOT and is currently an active member of the Arizona National Guard, will join Team GLOCK competitors KC Eusebio, three-time Steel Challenge National Champion and Junior shooting Tori Nonaka.
Along with other international female shooters, Viscusi was evaluated during the 2012 season and scored high marks for her grasp of the sport with little competitive training or experience. Working with Eusebio, Viscusi made great strides in her “on the field” performances in United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) and International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) matches around the country.
“This has been a dream of mine since my father took my family to the range and taught us the basics of shooting handguns,” stated Viscusi. “It wasn’t until I entered the National Guard that I began to shoot competitively. I am very excited about being the newest member of Team GLOCK.”
