My Biography
I am a USCCA certified instructor in Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals, Women’s Handgun & Self-Defense Fundamentals, and as a Range Safety Officer. I am focused on safely helping women and first-time shooters build real confidence and practical skills. With more than 40 years of experience around firearms, I strive to provide clear, step-by-step training in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment. My focus is to help students leave informed, capable, empowered, and wanting to return for more.
In addition to my work on the range, I have spent 30 years in the IT industry as a corporate strategic financial planner, where I have developed a reputation for clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and helping people make informed decisions under pressure. I strive to bring that same structured, supportive approach to training at the range as well.
