Chris is a former Marine & Navy SEAL. While on active duty he served in three deployments to the Middle East, and Africa. Through these deployments he gained immense knowledge and experience that he has combined with over a decade of continuous training both as a student as well as an instructor.  

Chris grew up in San Diego, CA and learned how to shoot from his father. His dad is a retired Command Master Chief who instilled the importance of gun safety in his family, along with marksmanship fundamentals. More importantly he wanted his son’s to be able to protect their home and mom from potential harm, while he was away on deployments. 

A fond memory Chris holds is when he was 8 years old and his dad bought him his first .22 bolt action rifle (which he still owns) from a yard sale. The next day they went as a family to a local range; Chris was immediately hooked and has been shooting ever since. From a very young age he was taught that gun ownership along with shooting is as American as our Flag. It is a precious gift that should be honored as well as respected.

Given his background, most assume his training classes mimic a condensed version of a military selection course; nothing could be further from the truth. This is not a military course or a “combat pistol” class. In fact, it is the opposite. He provides the knowledge, skills, and help,  to make you better, and more efficient. The time to learn how to use your pistol should not be when you need it most.  

He will teach you how to handle your pistol correctly, giving you the tools needed to defend yourself and your family.  

Shoot with confidence, leave nothing to chance.
