I’m fortunate to do something I really enjoy, even go so far as to say love. I love the opportunity I have to work with students at all levels, but especially those new to our industry. I know it can be confusing or even intimidating.
Our directive is to welcome all, provide an enjoyable and productive opportunity to work together. I’ve discovered more about leadership as an instructor than I could have imagined.
A central tenant to being successful is trust. I work tirelessly to gain the trust that opens doors and over comes obstacles to learning. In the process, we have made amazing friendships and relationships along the way.
While I know should you need to employ the skills we offer, it will be the worst day you could imagine. But, I’m confident in our ability to improve students skill level because I believe in the student. I believe what I’m asking is achievable. Every time I’ve challenged a student to grow they have done so and I couldn’t be prouder.
My vision is to bring the joy and passion for the shooting arts to as many people as possible. To impact them in a positive and meaningful way. To create the next generation of instructors, shooters and ambassadors to defend our freedoms and our way of life.
