My Biography

Retired helicopter pilot with 34 years and 5000 hours flying experience. 7 years in the Irish Army reserve where I first learned about firearms.I have been teaching CCW and firearms related training for 11 years now and have been a concealed carry advocate for 11 years. I love to educate and train myself and through the USCCA I am able to to now educate and train people using the program. It is a new quest every time I instruct and I get so much satisfaction from that. Watching people learn helps me learn too. I enjoy watching people grow in their firearms experience beginners or well seasoned shooters. EVERYONE can learn something new even me.

    "Very Good Instructor. As Ive had little experience with firearms, I felt confident and at ease with this training. I do need plenty practice and would like to pursue with self defense & fire arms training."

    "Instructor was throughly qualified and very knowledgeable about not only Missouri's quite lines and statutes but many other states as well. He demonstrated all aspects of gun safety proper use of a firearm. I came away much more knowledgeable than I was going in. The class instructions received will help me very much. I enjoyed the class very much. "
