My Biography

I am a retired career public servant having served in the Army and Federal Law Enforcement for nearly 30 years with extensive tactical, firearm and teaching experience. After a dozen year street-level career of managing international investigations targeting the dismantlement of complex violent global organized crime and drug trafficking syndicates, I was called to HQ leadership. During that time, I had management oversight for and have trained thousands of students around the world; I was stationed as an instructor and a leader at the FBI Academy for 7 years. As a now retired civilian, I am a Certified Firearms Instructor in several disciplines and a Certified Range Safety Officer by the USCCA and the NRA. Highlights from my career include:

• Managed all aspects of classroom and experiential (hands-on) training and education for FBI New Agent Trainees (Special Agent candidates). • Managed International Training - providing all topics of classroom-based and field experiential training to foreign law enforcement and military partners around the world. • Oversight of International Law Enforcement Academies in Mexico and El Salvador. • Managed the Instructor Development Program which is the sole certification authority that provides FBI employees the education, ability and Instructor-level certification to teach their subject matter expertise. • Managed critical national programs including global kidnapping (hostage rescue and recovery), crimes on the high seas (piracy), international fugitives and major noted cases abroad.
• Multi-term National Agency President of our professional association. Among other services, that association provided legal counsel to agents in need, particularly after critical incidents and shooting events. Keenly aware of all aspects of the impact of such an event. • University Professor

I look forward to meeting and working with you. My goal is to provide you with the best possible firearms, home defense, concealed carry and specialized training.

    "I recently attended a USCCA class, and it exceeded all my expectations! The instructors, Mike and Susie, were not only extremely knowledgeable but also made the entire experience enjoyable and engaging. They explained everything clearly and thoroughly, making complex concepts easy to understand. What really stood out were the fun and interesting stories they shared from their own experiences with them being in the FBI— it added a personal touch that made the class even more memorable. If you’re considering this class, don’t hesitate! It's an invaluable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to become a more responsible and confident firearm owner."
