My primary focus is teaching the safe and effective use of firearms, particularly handguns, for real-world defensive applications—whether that means home defense or carrying concealed in daily life.
What sets my training apart is the high-efficiency, high-impact model built around personalized, private instruction. Every session is tailored to your specific experience level, goals, and lifestyle—not a one-size-fits-all curriculum or a crowded group format. This approach maximizes your return on investment, both in time and money, especially when compared with self-guided training, informal buddy sessions, or large open-enrollment classes.
Once the fundamentals are solid, you can choose to go far beyond the basics of firearms proficiency.
What Sets Me Apart
High-quality instruction isn’t just about showing up, checking a box, or walking away with a certificate. It’s about communicating critical information in a way that sticks—turning knowledge into measurable, real-world skill.
My background runs both deep and wide. I’ve made significant investments not only as an advanced firearms instructor and coach, but also as a dedicated practitioner. That includes skilled defensive pistolcraft, competitive action shooting, pressure-tested integrated combatives, and multiple martial arts disciplines—including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
