Instructor Bio

“As a Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician, I’ve had the privilege of spending the last decade in the military embedded in many different Special Operation units. While I developed many skills through that time, combat shooting became something more to me than just an occupational necessity.  I have been fortunate to be afforded the ability to expand my personal experience by having access to the most elite shooting schools.  Always a student of the art, I continue the practice of seeking out training with the best to this day.”
