My Biography

Instructor Bio: Retired L.E.O., (Law Enforcement Officer) with 30-years of honorable service to the citizens of California. Retired U.S. U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, with 16-years service.

Experience extends to virtually every segment of the law enforcement profession. In addition, to patrol duties I served as a Police Department Firearms Tactical Instructor & Range Master tasked with training & qualifying thousands of police officers and police academy recruits and since retirement several thousand men & women citizens interested in their personal, family, and home protection.

I have developed an extensive and varied background in teaching the art & science of firearms fundamentals; safety, situational awareness, defensive shooting, self-defense, CQC (close-quarters combat) tactical concepts, actual hands-on “street survival” with real urban combat strategic & defensive skills. I take personal satisfaction in sharing my tactical know-how and experience with good people in need of helpful tutoring in firearms safety and self-defense.

Certifications: NRA Certified Police Firearms Instructor • UCLA Education Degree • U.S. Coast Guard Instructor • Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department Certified Firearms Instructor & Range Master • Police Academy Senior Tactical Officer & Instructor.
