Joshua Hughes Cincinnati, Ohio. Recon Defensive Firearms Training

In 2007 I Enlisted in the United States Army as a 19 Delta Cavalry Scout. During my time in the Army I served one tour in Iraq and was Medically discharged as a result of Service. After being Discharged I became Certified through the Ohio Police Officers Training Association as a licensed Armed Private security officer, and I have done this line of work part-time on and off for the past 13 years. My fulltime Job I Spent 17 Years as a Career Firefighter/Paramedic, and I am Currently still Certified in the State of Ohio. I was also a Continuing education instructor for Paramedics and EMTs, which is where I started my teaching experience. Since leaving the Fire Service, I am now employed as a Delta Defense Customer Engagement Advisor, assisting the Members of the USCCA with their Memberships. I loves to spend time with my Wife Brandie and our Six wondeful Children. I am constantly working to refine my training to stay proficient in Self Defense and Teaching Skills, whether that is Dry fire at home, training on the range, or helping to train others. it is my Responsibility to teach others how to be the best Protectors they can be for themselves and their families. I have a strong belief that the more Trained and Educated Armed Americans we have on the Streets the safer America is as a whole. I am a Fighter for Freedom and will always stand up for the rights of the American People.
