From their website they offer.

I started my firearms trainer career in the CT Army National Guard,  A co. 1/102 Infantry, where as a Sergeant I was selected to attend the U.S. Army Small Arms Instructor Range Operations Course. After that, I assisted my battalion with qualifications training, remedial training, and range operations. I then served our communities as a police officer for 21 years, for 15 of those years I was an active police firearms trainer and for 4 of those years I was a member of a Regional Emergency Response Team (SWAT). In 2011 I started teaching civilians and shortly after decided to continue down that path. I attended the NRA Instructor training, getting certified to teach the Basics of Pistol Shooting Class. In 2019 I received my instructor certification from the USCCA in Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals. I continue to expand my training and instructor knowledge. In 2020 I became a certified NRA Range Safety Officer and a USCCA Countering the Mass Shooter Threat Instructor. 

 

I run small group classes and private lessons to fit your needs. If you just want to shoot better that’s not a problem, I can definitely do that. But, my specialty is in defensive firearms training. I have been a student of firearms combatives for 30 years. My instructor certifications were geared towards combatives with firearms. I have taken many classes in use of force and combative mindset to help me better understand how the human body reacts under the stress of a high stress encounter such a deadly force. I bring that mindset to all my combatives classes.
