My Biography

Dennis is a member of the NRA and is a certified NRA Range Safety Officer as well as being a certified USCCA Firearms Instructor.
Dennis previously received training at a Tier 1 Firearms facility working his way up to expert level in both defensive pistol and rifle. He has also been a student in the Defensive Training International class instructed by well-known firearms expert, John Farnam. This multi-dimensional firearms experience in addition to an extensive martial arts/self defense background, allows Dennis to bring a unique and very knowledgeable perspective to firearms training, specifically for the MN Permit-to-Carry class.
