Jeremy has trained countless civilians, military personnel, 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 Negligent Discharges (ND's).

His calm, safe and fun methods of teaching have earned him the privilege of training all of his friend’s wives + most of the female staff 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. We are here to change that bad experience, and turn it into a safe, fun and practical experience. Our courses are tailored for your individual needs.

Jeremy recognizes that he is a student too. He has sought and received advanced instruction from some of the best Military Tier-1 and Tier-2 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 combat fitness, awareness and firearms courses together, to get the complete package. With this combination, you can boost your confidence to the highest level. You will confidently be able to be the protector of yourself, your family + recognize threats before they become a potential issue. Don't be a statistic or victim!

If you desire exceptional training that is safe for the entire family, JTAC3 is here for you. We look forward to meeting you where you are and customizing a program that fits your needs and answers your questions. We have strived to fill in all of the gaps that every other instructor fails to teach or doesn’t want to teach. We aim to make you legal (CA compliant), safe and proficient.

If you’re still unsure for any reason, please reach out to us with any questions or concerns that you have. Bottom Line: We are here to help!
