My Biography

I started my career in firearms building Polymer 80 Glock clones. That inspired me to enroll in Sonoran Desert Institute to gain my gunsmithing certificate. I then went back to get my associates degree in Science of Firearms Technology. I followed that up with the Handgun Specialist program which focused on revolvers, striker fire and hammer fire handguns. After completing my schooling I was hired as the gunsmith at The Marksman, a local gun store and indoor shooting range in Newport News, VA. Now that I have become a USCCA certified trainer, I am also a trainer for our private lessons and concealed classes.
