Introduction

With over 17 years of experience in instructing Hunter Education and Safety Firearms courses, along with more than 27 years of military service, I am dedicated to teaching the essential skills of firearm safety and responsible hunting. My mission is to provide knowledgeable, engaging, and safe courses that leave students confident and well-prepared. Whether you're new to firearms or an experienced hunter, I ensure every class is both educational and enjoyable, with safety always at the forefront.

About Me

With over 17 years of experience instructing Hunter Education and Safety Firearms courses, I am deeply committed to teaching the importance of safety and responsibility in the world of firearms and hunting. I bring more than 27 years of military experience, including deployments to Afghanistan and to CFS Alert in the artic circle, which have given me a diverse and comprehensive understanding of various firearms, ranges, and environments. My military background has honed my skills in high-pressure situations, and I bring that expertise into every class I teach. While experience is invaluable, I firmly believe it doesn’t automatically equate to safety. My mission is to ensure that every student leaves my courses not only knowledgeable but also confident in their ability to handle firearms safely—protecting themselves and others in any environment. Whether in the field or on the range, safety, skill, and responsibility are always my top priorities.

About My Courses

My courses are designed to be both informative and engaging, offering a balance of knowledge, safety, and fun. I believe learning should never be dull, so I incorporate real-world experiences, interactive discussions, and hands-on training to keep students actively involved and excited. At the same time, safety is always my top priority, ensuring that every lesson is rooted in responsible firearm use and safe hunting practices. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time learner, my goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to take on the skills you’ve learned in a safe and enjoyable way.
