MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE
I am not a combat master. I'm just a pretty good shooter with a lot of training. Take that for what it's worth to you.
At one time, I had my training and experience listed here, however, I have since decided that it
really isn't important, and if you can't say "I used to be a cop" or "I was in the military" most people don't
care what your other credentials are,
Additionally, while I do occasionally say that I am instructor, I am not a full time instructor,
and I have ever intended to imply that I make a living as an instructor.
So, I decided to delete the detailed information that was listed here and simply say this instead:
I've had a minor amount of real-world experience and a great deal of training; several hundred hours,
not including shooting matches, but actual, real, supervised training from a trainer, which is
considerably more than most people have had, ranging from basic handgun to advanced rifle techniques,
and everything in between, from various instructors of all levels of experience. I am a student of
personal safety, and I continue to seek training and knowledge, and always will. I do not think I
know everything and I always strive to learn as much as possible.
I have been an adjunct instructor for several shooting schools, and I have been an IDPA Area Coordinator and Safety
Officer Instructor, Safety Officer at several national matches, myriad regional and state matches, and an
innumerable number of local club matches, as well as Match Director and Chief Safety Officer for various
regional matches. Additionally, I hold master rankings with several organizations, and I regularly win
or place very high in shooting matches, and I was one of only 3 people allowed to run matches at one
particular location in Memphis.
I occasionally host classes and/or give lessons. I do not claim to turn you into a steely-eyed
gunfighter, but I will teach you techniques that will help you shoot faster and more accurately.
As of about 2014, I moved to Mississippi and I am no longer registered as an instructor. The only thing that means is I am not
authorized to teach the Tennessee basic handgun permit class, but I can still give shooting instruction, as that takes no certification
from any particular organization. I would be glad to give private lessons from time to time.
