My Biography

I am passionate about educating, equipping, and empowering people in the safe use of firearms. I specialize in working with women to overcome fears that they may have in regards to firearms, and how to safely handle firearms to protect and defend themselves. I am equally passionate about helping schools and churches develop an Emergency Operations Plan to protect their students, staff, and parishioners from a Mass Shooter event.

    "Overall good, helpful, and meticulous information given by Goldie. However, I paid the same $60 to attend just like the other student and her father. Sadly, I felt Goldie iced me out and minimally acknowledged my presence. She made very little eye contact with me throughout the class. Her attention and conversation focused almost exclusively on the other student, and I’m not completely sure why. "

    "I am SO sorry that you felt that way Susan, it certainly wasn’t my intention. "
