My Biography
Whether you're buying your first firearm, applying for your Illinois Concealed Carry License, or sharpening your defensive skills, you'll receive professional, practical, and confidence-building instruction tailored to your experience level. As a USCCA Certified Firearms Instructor, Illinois Concealed Carry Instructor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and 26-year U.S. Navy veteran, I bring a unique blend of military, law enforcement, emergency management, and behavioral health expertise to every class. My background as a former law enforcement officer and FEMA emergency management professional gives students real-world insights that extend beyond the shooting range. What sets Caliber Confidence Institute apart is our whole-person approach to responsible firearm ownership. We combine safe firearm handling with situational awareness, conflict avoidance, sound decision-making, mental preparedness, and emergency response to help students become safer, more confident, and more responsible armed citizens. Every course emphasizes hands-on learning, real-world application, and a commitment to safety—equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to protect yourself and those you love.
Train Responsibly. Prepare with Confidence. Protect What Matters Most.
