He has trained countless civilians, law enforcement officers and security professionals. He also takes pride in teaching Moms, Dads & their kids in the use of basic, intermediate and advanced firearms. He has a 100% safety record with no accidents and no (ND’s) “Negligent Discharges”.

His calm, safe and fun methods of teaching have earned him the privilege of training all of his friend’s wives + most of the females from churches and businesses in his “no attitude/no stress environment”. Too many people have chosen to stop training because of an egotistical or unsafe instructor.

He recognizes that he is a student too. He has sought and received advanced instruction from some of the best Military Tier-1 Special Operators in the world. One of his favorite quotes is: “The teacher must always remember that he too was once the student”.

Lastly, he is a firm believer in combining his combat fitness, awareness and firearms courses together, to get the complete package. With this combination, you can boost your confidence to a new level. You will be able to be the protector of yourself and your family and recognize threats before they become a potential issue.

We look forward to meeting you where you are and customizing a program that fits your needs and answers your questions.
