As of 2025 I have been running M-FFIST for a year and offering high quality tactical training to clients around the country. 

I have trained thousands of students spanning civilian, military, and law enforcement, through private lessons and group classes. Content has included basic safety and fundamentals, individual critical skill development, use of force, force on force, room entry tactics, and concealed handgun license.

I continually strive for self-improvement and take advantage of every training opportunity available. I actively compete in shooting sports, continue my professional education by taking classes from quality instructors with varying backgrounds, experiment with new ideas, and stay up to date on industry standards and trends. 

 Operational Experience

I served as US Marine Infantryman, my deployments include humanitarian relief efforts during hurricane Katrina and combat operations in Anbar province, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I later returned to an active deployment cycle in Baghdad, Iraq as a protective security specialist (PSS) involved in mobile security operations for diplomatic clients.
