Former American International Group Inc. Vice President of Claims Kevin Donaldson went from the concrete jungle to the wilds of the paintball frontier.

 

Not content with his corporate role, Donaldson left AIG to pursue his passion, as reported on the Fox Nation special “Paintball:  America’s Secret Pastime.”

 

Paintball was “my whole life,” he said.

 

After opening a paintball store, Donaldson began competing in and running competitive tournaments and eventually became the manager and captain of the professional paintball team Master Blasters.

 

The Master Blasters were founded in 1986 and play in tournaments all over the world, according to their Facebook page. The team practices on a field in Newburgh, New York.

 

“Our weekend training sessions are building up to some pretty big tournaments,” Donaldson said.
