I have been a firearms enthusiast since I was a kid with my first BB gun. Perhaps that led me to a 28-year career in Law Enforcement. As an instructor, I bring over 35 years of daily interaction with firearms from concealed carry to military and law enforcement service, and a wide variety of experience, training, and certifications.

Range Ready covers gun safety rules, firearm handling and operation, fundamentals of pistol shooting to include stance, grip, sights, and trigger control, practice with dummy rounds, and disassembly and cleaning. Each Range Ready class is tailored to your actual firearm(s) and training needs. If you do not have a gun yet, I have many examples to show you to help you decide. All this in the comfort of your home! Live fire range coaching can also be arranged.
Additionally, concealed carry considerations have been in demand and I have been including that subject with more detail on request. I have also covered other defensive tools like rifle and shotgun in recent private lessons.
