My Biography

I’m a New York native who believes that freedom is something we must protect and live out every day. I started DJR Empowerment Group, LLC with a simple mission: to empower people through better health, safety training, and personal defense skills. My goal is to make sure you leave class feeling stronger, more confident for the moment that you might have to use your firearm. Helping others feel confident and prepared is my passion, and I’d be honored to have you join us in class. Hope to see you soon!
