My Biography
I started the company The Warrior Within, LLC as I have a love for all things martial. I started in the martial arts at a young age and have continued to practice throughout my life. The introduction to projectiles in the martial arts led me down the path of the modern warrior: firearms. I enjoy practicing firearms and martial arts, but I equally enjoy sharing it with others. In my teaching you will find passion, patience, and clarity as I have been teaching for over 30 years. Please join me in learning to defend yourself and others, overcome the fear of firearms, or to pick up an awesome hobby. I have a background in physical therapy and as such can help people with disabilities of all sorts to learn and enjoy shooting. Brand new shooters and beginners welcome. We all have a warrior within!
