About Tactical Firearms Solutions
After serving six years in the U.S. Army as an Infantryman—including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2011–2012, I continued my commitment to service by becoming a Law Enforcement Officer. Over the next ten years, I served in various specialized roles, including SWAT Team member, Field Training Officer, and Department Firearms Instructor.
Through these experiences, I’ve learned countless lessons, many of them the hard way, about shooting, self-defense, and what it takes to perform under pressure. I’ve trained extensively, made mistakes, and grown from them, and now I want to pass that knowledge on to you.
I founded Tactical Firearms Solutions with one goal: to help shooters of all skill levels develop real-world skills faster and more effectively. My mission is to shorten your learning curve by sharing the hard-earned lessons and insights I’ve gained from over a decade of military and law enforcement training.
Whether you're a beginner looking to build a solid foundation or an experienced shooter seeking to refine your skills, Tactical Firearms Solutions is here to help you train smarter and shoot better.
