ABOUT ME

What qualities do  you look for in a Firearms Instructor? I would hope qualities like Knowledge, Experience, Skill and Dedication would be equally important as Passion, Commitment, Kindness, Understanding, Patience, the Ability and Joy of teaching others. 

I have been teaching gun owners both novice and experienced about safe firearms use and advanced shooting skills for over a decade.

I am a Training Counselor - not just a regular Instructor - I teach and certify Instructor Candidates (who are experienced gun owners) in a variety of NRA Instructor Courses such as Firearms Safety, Basic & Advanced Pistol Shooting, Rifle & Shotgun Shooting as well as Range Safety Officer Certification for Commercial Ranges and Private Clubs. I am not only responsible for them but for the vast number of students they will teach for years to come across the country.

I am also an NRA Certified Hunter Clinic Instructor - I teach real hunting courses for Deer and Turkey.

I am here to be of service and help you achieve exceptional skill and ability, in a safe, enjoyable and comfortable atmosphere no matter what your goal or time frame. 

​

From Handgun Safety Course - pistol permit application -  to more advanced training (shooting courses)  in Self-Defense, Rifle or Shotgun and Basic Pistol Shooting - the NRA courses offered here provide superior training not simply a paper certificate. 

PROUDLY offering the only hands-on Handgun Safety course in the Hudson Valley (no "death by Powerpoint!)

Hands-On Lectures usually done in Walden NY (town of Montgomery) but can be conducted at your venue/gun club/residence - contact for details and arrangements.

Live-fire (range-time) is done in New Paltz NY.
