About us

Meet your instructor


If there is one thing the streets of Chicago will teach you and that’s learning how to survive. Everyone knows there are the law abiding citizens that respect one another and then there are the others that may believe that we live in a world where unfortunately crime will pay them something (or that they have nothing to lose).

Our mission is to provide the opportunity for anyone taking these courses to have a de-escalation mindset in every situation. To always consider the “what if’s” and understand the consequences from both sides of the spectrum.

I offer you knowledge from my 10 years of combined experience as an Armored Car Officer, Security Officer, Gun Enthusiast, professionally trained and Certified Instructor, and Certified Range Safety Officer (RSO). Allow my knowledge and experience help you become a safer and more experienced firearms owner.
