About 9533 Training & Consulting

Drawing from my career as a US Naval Special Warfare Special Boat Operator (SWCC), I bring over 30 years of weapons training experience to the table, making for an exceptional instructor for those interested in honing their skills in firearm usage and safety. As a retired SWCC, I was part of an elite team trained in boating and weapons tactics, techniques, and procedures with a focus on clandestine infiltration and exfiltration of SEALs and other special operations forces. Drawing from some of the most high-stakes situations, handling complex weaponry and tactics, and lessons are infused with my real-world experience.

Through thousands of hours of extensive training and experience make me exceptionally qualified to teach a variety of courses. I am a certified instructor for the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) and the National Rifle Association (NRA), and offer courses that range from basic pistol and rifle handling to advanced home defense techniques. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals or an experienced shooter aiming to refine your skills, my training offers unparalleled depth and practical knowledge.

My experience goes beyond military operations. I has also served as a Training Officer and Academy Director for a County Search & Rescue Team (SAR), further showcasing my commitment to safety and preparedness. I also have certifications in emergency first aid fundamentals, this makes me a well-rounded instructor who understands the importance of safety in all aspects of firearm use.

Choose me as your instructor, you will be learning from a true professional. I am dedicated to sharing my extensive knowledge and ensuring my students become proficient, confident, and safe in their weapon handling skills.
