Instructor

As a proud Army veteran, I am a firm supporter of the United States Constitution, in particular the Bill of Rights. I believe that the 2nd Amendment is the cornerstone to the continued existence of our Republic. The 2nd Amendment serves as a check on those who seek to centralize power within a particular politician or political party. It also serves as a check on foreign adversaries contemplating using force against our civilians. 

Without the 2nd Amendment acting as a check on centralized power, all other rights would simply be meaningless words, or a "parchment guarantee," on an over 235-year-old piece of paper. As such, the freedom and security of our citizens and our great nation would be compromised.

While I believe in responsible  citizens’ right to keep and bear arms, I also believe that we owe it to ourselves, our families, and our fellow citizens to be properly trained in the use of our firearms. Training makes it less likely that we will have accidents or make bad decisions in the event that we are forced to use deadly force to defend ourselves or our loved ones.

How much training do we need? I believe that is up to each individual to decide. This decision can be based upon a variety of factors, to include physical abilities, one’s personal security needs, or a simple desire to learn more.

While tactical or, often times, “tacticool,” training can be fun and exciting, the basics are what counts when it comes time to defend yourself or your loved ones. It is for this reason that I focus on training our fellow citizens in basic firearms fundamentals. This ensures that we are safe, confident, and effective with our firearms.

I've been with my full time employer for over 18 years. I've served as a firearms instructor for 10 of those years and have completed several firearms related courses. 

I am certified by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), the California Department of Justice (DOJ), the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), and  the National Rifle Association (NRA).

I look forward to meeting each of you in class!
