My Biography

Brad has had a lifelong passion and working knowledge of firearms and their proficient use, along with being a strong 2A supporter. Currently, he is a USCCA Certified Instructor, Range Safety Officer, and Maryland State Police Qualified Handgun Instructor.

Brad has a professional background in corporate, power plant/industrial, and maritime/port security, working closely with various local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and the United States Coast Guard.

Brad also has a volunteer background in Emergency Medical Services for a local fire department, along with coaching youth sports and other activities within the community.

Brad's secondary goal is to bring his passion, knowledge, and experience together in a manner that helps you to understand course content in a relevant manner that can easily translate to the real world for you and your family!

Brad believes the best way to protect our 2A rights is to develop safe and responsible shooters to likewise exercise their rights in a safe, responsible, and legal manner. As such, safety is always the primary goal in EVERY class or lesson and will not be compromised.
