About
As a retired Naval Combat Photographer I've had the privilege of teaching many young sailors how to photograph and document our Naval history. I've taken that training and teaching experience and applied it to other aspects of my life that I really enjoy. Golf, firearms and photography are a few of my many passions.
One of my greatest satisfactions as a person is teaching another individual something they want to learn and having the experience to thoroughly do so. Watching an individual in the beginning with little to no knowledge and then developing their skills and knowledge to a point where they can take it to a higher level I think is one of the greatest contributions you can give to o community.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My basic approach is to find out what the students goals and aspirations are in regarding the lessons they are looking for. Then I discuss a game plan that they feel will directly impact their wants and needs. From that point I begin my homework and develop a training plan that I hope will be informative and challenging for the students.

How did you get started teaching?
As I mentioned before spending 25 years in the United States Navy I transition from me recruit to an operator and eventually to an instructor and mentor. I've learned a lot about myself and the many young adults I've had the opportunity to train. However, as an instructorI am constantly learning myself not only in the subject matters I teach but in techniques of teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with prior military people who never had the opportunity to use firearms. And, I have also instructed women and children on basic firearm safety and operation.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
