About
As martial arts instructor of over 30 years and a firearms instructor of almost 10 years I draw on my experience teaching as well as my knowlege from training with military special operations units and SWAT teams to help shooters to grow or sharpen thier current knowlege.
I also have a variety of rental guns for beginner students or if they would like to try upgrade thier current firearm. I even offer a pistol test drive class to try different pistols I recommend; when a student does decide what the want I am also a Federal Licensed Firearm dealer.
What I enjoy most about training students is watching thier progress from basic or intermediate to advanced skills as well as the increase in self confidence of thier own abilities.

How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching martial arts at the age of 13 as an assistant instructor in Youngstown OH and continued teaching until I graduated high school. After taking a 4-year break to earn my bachelor's degree I returned to teaching martial arts in 2006. Since then I have run my own Martial Arts School as a head intructor in both Sidney NE, and Forney TX. In 2014 I became an NRA Instructor and added firearms skills to my instruction curiculum.
