There are many good reasons to become an instructor, but ours is simple: we enjoy teaching.
The best part of our day is watching students improve throughout a course—and seeing that progress continue from one course to the next.
Our goal is to provide practical, realistic training for students who are just as committed to improving as we are to helping them succeed.
When you get better, we consider it a great day. That’s why we teach.
With 17+ years of U.S. Army experience across combat and intelligence roles, Ryan is certified by the NRA and MSP to teach CCW, HQL, and advanced tactical courses. He leads every session with clarity and calm — no ego, no intimidation.
