About the Owner and Instructor


Howdy, I am thrilled to bring my 20+ years of extensive experience in Firearms, Security, Military, and Law enforcement to the table. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of serving as a Military Police Commissioned Officer, Infantry Non-Commissioned Officer, and Criminal Investigation Division Chief Warrant Officer (Special Agent). Over the years, I have had the privilege of training both Civilians and Soldiers in the areas of Law Enforcement, Physical Security, and Military Operations. Now, my focus is on sharing my knowledge and expertise with individuals who are new to firearms and self-defense. I am passionate about empowering others with the necessary skills and knowledge to protect themselves and their loved ones.

Hands-on training is a cornerstone of my instruction. I understand that theory alone is not enough to build proficiency and confidence. By providing practical exercises and opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, I ensure that they develop the necessary skills to handle firearms safely and effectively. Whether it's practicing proper shooting techniques or engaging in realistic scenarios, I prioritize hands-on experience to reinforce learning.

Safety is of paramount importance to me. As a firearms instructor, I make it my top priority to instill a deep understanding of safety protocols and responsible firearm handling in all my students. From proper gun handling to range etiquette, I leave no room for compromise when it comes to safety. Through clear instructions, demonstrations, and constant reinforcement, I ensure that every student understands and follows the essential safety guidelines.
