I grew up around firearms and was introduced to them at a very early age. It was at around the age of 18 when I decided to get formal training, and as it turned out, I was very good at it-once I overcame my inital fears. In my spare time- you can typically find me at the local range, or hosting firearm and personal safety courses of various types. I am driven by my passion for helping others achieve the skills and proper safety training necessary to appreciate the sporting aspects, as well as the personal protection that comes with owning a firearm.
