Thanks, glad to be here.
I began my firearms career as an Instructor/Range master in the early years of Front Sight (1999 -2007). l left there when I bought a small martial arts business and started teaching some CCW and First Aid classes on the side.
One of my former FS students moved to Pahrump and opened a gun store.
One weekend he asked me if I could cover his CCW class so he could go shoot a cowboy action match. I liked the extra money and he really dug having weekends free to play guns, so, I started commuting to Pahrump again.
Attendance built up steadily so the Pahrump operation gradually became the bulk of my business.
I still do some training in Vegas, mostly small private classes and "concierge" renewals. (Sorry, Mac.
)
I have several indoor ranges where I can do quals in Vegas but I really dislike trying to teach a full handgun class in the "stall" environment.
I used to use the CCSP but it became such a hassle to get range time that I switched to the Boulder City Club. Then they changed their outside vendor policy.
I run several CCW classes and usually an intermediate "tactical" handgun and either rifle or shotgun class every month.
I also teach First Aid/CPR and Gunshot/Trauma First Aid (TECC) classes.
