My Biography

I am a certified firearms instructor serving the Wilson County area who is passionate about helping individuals learn safe and responsible firearm ownership.

With a background in martial arts and personal defense training dating back to 1998, John brings years of discipline and safety-focused instruction to his classes. He became a firearms instructor in 2023 after expanding his training into firearms education and concealed carry.

I enjoy working with both new and experienced shooters and is especially passionate about helping first-time gun owners feel comfortable and confident. His classes focus on safety, responsible firearm handling, and practical knowledge that students can apply in real-world situations.

My mission is simple: help people become safe, responsible, and confident firearm owners
