"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." -Thomas Jefferson  Upon retirement from my Real Estate Brokerage in 2000, I began conducting firearms education and training classes on a regular basis, including NRA Range Safety Officer Certification, NRA Instructor Certification Workshops in the pistol, rife, shotgun disciplines. Being actively involved in the shooting sports community, sponsoring USA Shooting and NRA Shooting Sports Programs, as well as offering private shooting instruction on a regular basis, I discovered a strong demand for qualified firearms instructors. To help meet this demand in a small way, I frequently conduct multi discpline NRA Instructor Certification Workshops in both the Hampton Roads, Virginia and Orlando, Florida areas for those individuals who want to share their firearms knowledge and skills with others, and are willing to make a commitment to teach NRA training courses in their communities. I have been, and continue to be very fortunate in my commitment to being a firearms trainer; meeting the caliber of people, with whom I am associated, who share a similar passion for firearms safety and the shooting sports. Among them; professional and Olympic athletes, actors, stunt people, politicians, tactical law enforcement, spec war and other military personnel, security, medical and NATO personnel, as well as world class shooting competitors to name a few. To share and learn from these special people in their varied walks of life and experiences, has and continues to be both gratifying and rewarding. A special thanks to each of you. |
