My Biography

I am a firearms enthusiast located in eastern South Dakota.

In addition to my USCCA Certified Instructor and Training Counselor credentials, I am also an NRA Certified Instructor and Chief Range Safety Officer. I am certified to teach NRA Basic Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, and NRA Basic Range Safety Officer.

I offer Concealed Carry Permit classes for South Dakota, Minnesota, and Arizona.

If I am not teaching, you can often find me riding motorcycle, at the movies, maybe shooting some guns, or just chilling at home.
