As a youth growing up in a farm environment I grew up around guns. I learned many things about many different guns, techniques for shooting, and hunting. Much of it from folks who were ex-military, peace officers and avid hunters.

Many of the things I learned were then reinforced in my military service from 1971-1976.

In my professional life I worked in engineering environments much of it in management roles. In these roles I was also responsible for providing education and training to employees in many varied areas.

Since then I myself have had many training sessions to name a few my CCW licensing requirements a USCCA Certified Instructor, USCCA Taring Counselor, a P.O.S.T Firearms Instructor, CA DOJ CCW Certified Instructor, a CA DOJ Certified Instaructor, an Arizona Out Of State Certified CCW Instructor, an Arizona Out Of State Training Instructor (training the trainers), and also a Utah CCW Out Of State Instructor.

Having experienced some very poor quality courses and training in my life I decided to be an influence for change and provide a better quality of education in my courses for students seeking to be proficient in weapon systems and self defense.

I continued to train and increase my knowledge and proficiency through the many available USCCA courses and many other learning channels available so I can to become more proficient in my endeavor and commitment to providing the best education and training to my students.
