About Me

 To offer remarkable Firearm Training to those seeking fundamentals through advanced shooting skills utilizing Classroom & Live Fire instruction.

I believe that for training to be of any value and use, training must be informative & interesting, stimulating & realistic, responsible & safe.

And that you have fun doing it.

That in times of peril and/or threat, I believe that you will perform exceedingly well based on your training.

That from this training, you gain newfound ‘Situational Awareness’ and that becomes a way of life.

There are NO Problems!  There are only Solutions!

And there are no shortcuts!

The Customer is my most important visitor and concern.

They are NOT dependent on me.  I am dependent on them.

They are NOT an interruption of my work.  Rather, they are the purpose of my work.

They are NOT an Outsider of my business.  They are a part of my business.

I am NOT doing them a favor by serving them.

Rather, they are doing me a favor by giving me the opportunity to do so.

I learned to shoot on or about 2010.  I had shot firearms prior to then, but that was just plinking.
 

I attended a local USPSA match at that time to watch a 'then' friend compete.  Afterwards, he and I practiced, and I started to understand the basics.  From there, my first pistol was a Smith & Wesson MP9 with holster and mag pouch.  And, I have expanded further with my collection of firearms. My addiction to the shooting sports has continued with a few breaks in-between for shoulder and elbow surgery (not related to the shooting sports, more from the skydiving sport).
 

Long and short of it -- I started in USPSA and migrated over to IDPA.
 

Moving ahead a few years and attempting to keep up with the younger generation of shooters and the very much faster generation of competitive shooters became a challenge to me as I am very competitive.  These old(er) bones do not move that fast anymore. :)  So, as the saying goes; ‘Those that can, do.  Those who cannot, teach. :)  Hence, I started explaining what I knew about the sport to beginners.  Not that I was a champion with any sort of pedigree.  However, watching champions, talking with champions, you learn much.

And I have been very fortunate. One of my first students is now an IDPA Texas State champion - 1st & 2nd placer in IDPA Stock pistol competitions - and has been invited to the IDPA Nationals.
 

To be clear -- There is no 'handicap' in shooting sports or in life to even the score as in golf.  Shooting, especially competitive shooting, is 'full on' and in ‘real-time’, all the time. Just like life, there are no ‘do overs’.
