=== Early career ===

Margott began playing paintball in 1999 and entered professional competition at the age of 15.

His early tournament career included DYE Kids and San Diego Aftermath, before he joined the Los Angeles Ironmen.[1][8]

Margott competed for the Ironmen during the team's successful 2007 and 2008 seasons.

The Ironmen won the professional World Cup in both years, with Margott included among the championship-winning players.[1][9]

He subsequently competed for other professional organisations, including Los Angeles Infamous and Russian Legion.

Margott returned to the Ironmen for the 2013 season after competing with Moscow Red Legion during 2012.

His return was announced in December 2012, with contemporary reporting identifying Mike Hinman as the Ironmen's incoming coach.[1]
