My mission is to help students achieve a higher level of shooting competency and proficiency for EDC and home defense — to have the skill to use the gun with speed and accountability if it has to come out.

As a dedicated coach and student, I practice, train and compete to ensure continual improvement in my performance, maximizing my efforts and putting my skills to the test. Then I pass along learnings to my students, sharing the most relevant, current and effective shooting concepts available.

I’m an active USPSA competitor in the Carry Optics division and PCSL competitor in the Practical division. My firearms training includes Rangemaster Certified Advanced Pistol Instructor under Tom Givens, and Certified Range Officer (RO) NROI / USPSA / 2026.

Over the past 15+ years I’ve also completed various levels of combative and performance-based courses in Carbine, Pistol, Shotgun, Concealed Carry, Small Unit Tactics, CQB Tactics, Force-on-Force and Practical Shooting, under some of the top instructors in the industry.
