My Story
We have all heard the phrase with age comes wisdom, and you grow up pretty quick working inside a prison. I spent most of my adult life following the care custody and control lifestyle of an officer. I served 8 years of my tenure on special teams including the correctional emergency response team, the Special Response Team, and the Special emergency response team.
Throughout my years I have received training in, OC Spray, Flash Bangs, Close Quarters Combat, Firearms, Less Lethal Equipment, AED, First Aid, CPR, Active Shooter, attended PA. state boot camp in Elizabeth Town receiving best Physical Training Award. (Barely beating officer Bytner for the run! Miss ya "BIT"!).
My average day was spent overseeing units of more than 100 inmates, maintaining order and delivering care, while responding to situations throughout the facility. Cell extractions were always the worst. I have attended Moundsville West Virginia for their annual training. I hold an award for capturing an escaped inmate, and oversaw the entire buildings operations working central control. I have saved lives throughout my career, and often miss the positive parts of being a Correctional Officer. I served on honor guard, union steward, and later elected recording secretary.
I finally took the steps to chase my passion. I have dreamt about being an instructor for years. I aspire to convey the knowledge I gained throughout life from training and experience gained as a correctional officer, as well as instruction i have paid for. I have designed unique ways to train novice through advanced shooting techniques. I intend for these new tactics paired with modern training technology to amplify student’s mindset and abilities at record speed.
I have grown up in the same community for my entire life. The situation we face as modern American citizens concerns me deeply, and my goal is to ensure the safety and security of my community and those around us. My strongpoint is defensive shooting, as it has always been my focus. I strive to be as best prepared to defend and protect my family and community. I have a passion for and commitment to my community, which is why my prices are modest. With today’s economy I understand the cost of training deters some from attending. I intend to offer a solution to that and leave a positive impact on my community.
