My Biography

Heather is passionate about educating individuals on the importance of self-protection for themselves and their loved ones. She understands that gun ownership may not be suitable for everyone, despite her personal enjoyment of owning and using firearms responsibly. Heather is dedicated to helping individuals of all skill levels develop self-protection skills and find the appropriate tools. In addition to being a USCCA firearms instructor, Heather is also a Soul Punch™ Certified Trainer and an AVIRT (Active Violence Immediate Response Training) Instructor.

As a USAF Veteran, former police officer in New Mexico and Arizona, and certified firearms instructor since 2016, Heather is committed to continually improving her skills. She focuses on working with beginners and those needing handgun refresher courses. She is also certified in equine and pet CPR and first aid and is a PADI-certified Rescue Diver.

She values honesty and authenticity in all aspects of life and seeks the best tacos wherever she goes.
