Traveling the country providing training and consultation services, creating engaging media and video, and sharing knowledge. Currently our most in demand training is instructor development firearms courses, our three day course packs a lot of information, relevant skills, and builds foundational layers. While not an easy course, it requires passing a written test and performance skill assessment which can challenge even experienced instructors. I feel becoming an instructor shouldn’t just happen by mere attendance, rather you need to show competency, proficiency and performance.

I do some writing, but mainly create video content on a variety of topics firearms related to out growing audience. Proud to say that I've helped grow video viewership and audience by 1050% in my tenure. I develop, produce, shoot and edit video content from industry events, the studio or at the range. Our pages and channels have hundreds of thousands of followers and we have millions of views every month.

I lead and grew a great team and we focused on the finest firearms and gear in the industry. Day to day I lead a dedicated, eager team where we presented and promoted the company’s image through video production, social media, email and SMS campaigns. I also evaluated new products, aided and consulted in purchasing, testing and evaluation, and development of products. Worked with web team with improving SEO, site retention and conversion. Highlights of my experience included implementing web e-comm improvements that increased site retention time and produced additional high revenue conversions.

Developed and instructed material to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in the United States. My areas of specialty were firearms, instructor development, and handgun mounted red dot optics, specifically train the trainer level courses. I have expertise in current training needs, trends, lesson plan development, best practices and technical equipment expertise. Unfortunately traveling often for classes has prevented me from spending more time with my family. I truly loved seeing many parts of the country working with our finest, from big cities to small towns, it was a great time!

I traveledthe country teaching LE firearms classes as a part of the renowned Mobile Training Team. My specialty area is RDS equipped Handgun, developing and teaching instructor level courses to agency firearms instructors. 88 Tactical’s system uses behavior based techniques that are realistic and proven in our training classes.

The Blue Team is a group of active LE and/or LE trainer representing Staccato. I used and demonstrated techniques and drills with my 2011’s at the classes I taught and when making content. I also assisted with events such as regional tactical association shows, was a resource for area LE and agencies interested in moving to the 2011 platform and assisted with transition training, in-service training development and policy considerations.While I still love Staccatos, and shoot them all the time, my roles within the industry required me to not be brand exclusive.
