My career has spanned positions such as Field officer to Executive Manager, Client/Contract Manager, and Threat Assessment Specialist, all rooted in the discipline and dedication I developed during my younger and formative years in serving the in the US Armed Forves (USMC). 

Since 2015, I have been passionate about teaching firearms, helping others develop their skills and confidence. When I'm not instructing, I find joy in the great outdoors through hiking and trail running, and I am an avid reader of history, art/culture, and etymology.
