About 1ST IN
Origins
The idea for my business didn’t originate in a “light bulb” moment. It grew from closely held beliefs, fundamental values and the skill I developed preparing and training to operate effectively when responding to emergencies. I applied this to my work as a firefighter in Philadelphia and now as a firearms instructor. It comes from real-world knowledge and hands-on experience that emphasized the difference between exercising a skill while calm and exercising a skill while under stress. It was born from a recognized need for a better, more practical and realistic approach to training that focused on pressure testing skills, building proficiency in shooting fundamentals, marksmanship at various distances, and honing the ability to operate a firearm under physical and mental stress.
Background
As a firefighter, I spent my first year at the “House of Dragons” Engine 20 Ladder 23 D Platoon followed by the next 11 years at Engine 45 Ladder 14 D Platoon, one of the busiest firehouses in the city. I earned certifications as an EMT-B, Trauma First Aid, Stop the Bleed, CPR/AED and Haz-Mat, as well as completing Special Operations Training in High Angle Rescue, Confined Space Rescue and Water Rescue.
Facts
-
I believe preparedness is a lifestyle and participate in additional training including land navigation, emergency communications, survival mindset, sustainability, and unarmed combatives.
-
I’m originally from Staten Island, New York and have resided in Philadelphia for 24 years.

Over the past 10+ years I have completed various levels of combative and performance based courses in Carbine, Pistol, Shotgun, Concealed Carry, Small Unit Tactics, CQB Tactics, Force on Force and USPSA, under some of the top instructors in the industry.
