My Biography
Some wise sage once said: “When Safety is first, you last.” Safety doesn’t happen by accident. It is part of a mindset that says, “I refuse to be a victim.” Have you ever been a victim or do you know someone who has? Then you know the dark side of a cruel world. I can’t do anything about the safety of our country, our state, or even our neighborhoods. But I can help you develop habits of safety in your personal life that will better equip you to face the dangers that surround us in our society. Can I guarantee your safety in all circumstances? NO. But I can give you a leg up to be better prepared. “No Safety, Know Pain. Know Safety, No Pain” Author unknown. Together with my husband, Hans Varmer, we use a team-teaching model. Please allow us to become your personal safety trainer. In the arena of firearms safety, I am a certified NRA Instructor (206620686) in Basic Pistol, Basic Rifle, Personal Protection Inside the Home, Chief Range Safety Officer. In the State of Maryland, I am a Qualified Handgun Instructor (QHIC-2014-0281) for the Handgun Qualification License, and the Wear & Carry Permit.
