ABOUT DOC
Many have asked, why would a doctor want to get into the business of teaching people how to shoot guns?
My simple response to that is, it brings me joy. I've been a gun enthusiast and licensed concealed carrier for the past 17 years.
I bought my first ever pistol as a college student for the purpose of self-protection. In the course of being a firearm owner, I discovered that just having a firearm does not make you safe.
Having a firearm means nothing if you lack skill, confidence, and self-discipline.
I have committed myself to regular training and pushing my firearms skills to better educate those in the community about firearm safety and proper firearm usage.
My greatest joy as an instructor is training people and watching the smiles that come on their faces as they gain confidence in their own abilities. Training begets confidence and confidence in a powerful thing!
Won't you let me be a part of your firearm training journey?
