I have been a shooter since the age of three. Firearms have been a part of both my personal and professional life for over forty-seven years. I first began gunsmithing at age ten because I was tired of paying some guy to “not” fix my guns. I joined the U.S. Army and was soon assigned armorer's duties.

I have worked as a range master and firearms instructor in both military and civilian settings. I have carried concealed weapons on three continents since 1988. I am an accomplished competitive shooter who has earned several championships and competed against the best shooters in the world.


My philosophy is simple: I want people to safely enjoy the shooting sports and to be armed with the knowledge and skill to protect themselves and their loved ones from harm.

I look forward to teaching you how to be a responsible, safe, and competent gun owner or concealed carry permit holder.
