Instructor profile

Certified law enforcement instructor since 1999.
Factory-trained armorer with a focus on the AR-15 platform.
Trained hundreds of students nationwide across law enforcement, military, and civilian audiences.
Based in Florida, with strong ties to Indiana, available for open enrollment or private group instruction.

The instruction was direct, repeatable, and immediately usable for our patrol rifle program. We left with standards, not just notes.

Training Unit Supervisor

Best beginner armorer course I have taken. Clear pace, no fluff, and the maintenance documentation alone paid for the seat.

J. Mercer

Open Enrollment Student

The class balanced agency-level rigor with explanations that newer armorers could actually use the next morning.
