Qualifications

I began the study of firearms under the mentor-ship of the nationally recognized firearms instructor Michael Harries, creator of the Harries flashlight technique. A technique that is universally employed today by law enforcement agencies and the military. Under Mr. Harries, I learned the arts of pistol craft and rifle craft. I currently hold the rank of Marksman 1 from Gunsite Academy one of the worlds most prestigious shooting schools. I have been a member of Southern California's Tactical Combat SCTC group for over 9 years, and train on a regular basis in different scenario based shooting exercises. In addition I have a broad understanding of realistic weapons retention and removal through over 17 years of martial arts.

Because the term martial art encompasses both unarmed and armed combat and defense, I continue to further my study in both fields. I am currently working towards 4th level Instructors license, as well as furthering my knowledge of armed combat and tactical defense.
