My Biography

“Professionals do it until they CAN’T get it wrong, Amateur's do it until they get it right. “ This quote has hung over my desk on the range, for well over 20 years. Because I believe it. Hello, I am Tony, I honorably served 10.5 years in the United States Marine Corps. I was attached to two different Scout Sniper Platoons, as the Chief Scout and Platoon Sergeant. I was also part of FAST CO, (Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Teams) as well as a CQB - (Close Quarters Battles Instructor). During my time in the military, I attended over 24 formal military schools. Upon leaving the Marine Corps, I went to work for the United States Secret Service, where I worked for just over 19 years. Nine of those years at the White House. Six of those years, doing Presidential Advances for POTUS, VPOTUS, and Foreign leaders. I spent my last 10 years, at our training center as a Firearms Instructor, where I trained our agent and officer recruits, as well as our operational personnel. I currently work, for another federal agency as the agencies site lead on FLETC (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) as a firearms instructor. I training over 1000 federal agents a year at my site. I hold numerous firearms instructor certifications thru the NRA and USCCA. I have been a professionally sponsored shooter since 1994. I currently shoot for 22-gun companies, representing them in numerous shooting sports, where I compete almost every weekend in some fashion around the country. As you can see, I have a well-rounded background of over 30 years’ worth of professional training and teaching under my belt. I can easily adopt the training to your needs and base the examples off of real world experience and scenarios. I understand how shooters learn, and I know that I can help teach and train you to become a proficient shooter. I am excited to be part of what USCCA has established, and I look forward to helping you achieve your intended firearms goals.

Sign on up and lets spend some time on the range together.
