instructor Bio

I bring a civilian-oriented perspective to firearms training and uses.  As a dedicated concealed-carrier of more than two decades I have gained a lot of experience through practical application.  I have been blessed with the ability to attend classes by very skilled instructors as well as work alongside them on the firing line.  


Although I am not a police officer nor have I ever been in the military, I have practical experience as a concealed carrier, taken part in competitive shooting, and am a perpetual student of firearm skills.  I have formal training in adult learning techniques, and have experience with public speaking.  Over the last two years I have received over 200 hours of training and instructed more than 240 hours of classes.


This puts me in a unique position to share my knowledge and experiences with other like minded civilians through safe, fun, interactive classes.  All while being cognizant of individual learning differences.  My is goal for every student to walk away armed with more knowledge, new skills, a different perspective, and a solid foundation from which to build.
