I am originally from the small town of Reidsville, NC. At 17, I signed up to be a United States Marine. I spent the next eight years in Security Forces and as an Infantry Squad Leader. I was deployed three times in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
After my time in the Marine Corps, I began working as a firearms instructor outside of Fort Bragg NC. From there I was hired in Raleigh, NC as a Federal Firearms Instructor for both Federal and State Agents, as well as local Law Enforcement Agencies.
In 2017, I moved to Harrisburg, PA where I developed and implemented the entire training curriculum for a local gun range. In 2021, I started my company, Sandstorm Tactical Training and Consulting, where I do Situational Awareness seminars, firearms safety and training, business and home security assessments, and Event Security.
