I have been a professional firearms instructor since 2003. I started working at a commercial gun range, instructing new & novice shooters in firearms basics and advanced skills. Over the last 3 decades as a Range officer / Firearms instructor I have taught well over 4,000 people how to shoot handguns and rifles safely in a live-fire environment.

In 2006, I became a C.F.P approved, Canadian Firearms Safety Course Instructor / Examiner and have been actively doing classes and challenges around central Alberta with over 5000 successful students.

Working as a licensed gunsmith since 2005. I work on Non-restricted, Restricted and Prohibited firearms and specialize in Restricted firearms repair, customization, and service.

About me:
I enjoy many of the shooting sports and try to get to the range as much as possible. I shoot handguns and rifles more than any others. I do some 3 Gun competition, Big Game and Predator hunting, trap shooting and am currently honing my long-distance rifle shooting skills.
