Client Testimonials
I knew I wanted to own and possibly carry a firearm, but I didn’t want to do it without the right training. Working with Chris gave me the clarity and confidence I needed—I now understand what to buy, why I’m buying it, and how to train responsibly. He doesn’t just teach the basics; he covers everything from safety and skill development to legal realities and real-world scenarios. Chris is passionate, knowledgeable, and fully committed to helping people move with confidence and purpose.
- Patrick Cook (Sports Massage Therapist, Fitness Coach, and Wellness Guide.)
“Chris is incredibly knowledgeable about firearms and very detailed and thorough when it comes to training. He takes the time to explain why particular actions to take, or not take, are important. These points are further illustrated with videos for better visualization and understanding.
There's no macho BS, he doesn't care who you are, he tailors the instruction to your personal situation and needs. Chris wants you to become safe, and proficient with whatever you use. I'm a short woman with small hands so he was able to guide me to what would be appropriate for my personal protection requirements. The virtual training was also very useful and built my confidence in a safe environment. Did I mention I had fun? Yep, lots and lots of fun. Do it!”
Stacey Gordon (Product Manager, Martial Arts Practitioner)
“Chris is legit. I had him run the advanced firearms block and stress shoot at our first Combatives camp—he made an immediate impact. His coaching took my Blake Drill (2-2-2 Drill) performance to the next level. He’s now our go-to firearms guy, and he’s even helped me improve remotely with MantisX.”
— Jay Martin, Retired Army Ranger, Jay Martin Combatives
“Chris and I have been BJJ training partners for years, so I already knew he was sharp—but over the last few months, he’s also become my go-to firearms coach. We’ve worked through everything from safety and gear setup to defensive tactics and legal use of force. A lot of our training has been in virtual reality, where he helped me really dial in my red dot shooting and correct some habits I didn’t even know I had. Chris delivers clear, effective coaching with zero ego, and always tailors it to what you actually need. If you want to get better—Chris is the guy.”
- Hewes Hull (BJJ Purple Belt, Business Owner)
“I had the opportunity to train with Chris in the most unusual place: ACE Virtual Reality. We met on one of the ranges there by pure chance.
Chris and I discussed the areas we were working on in our shooting, and he offered to help. For the next 45 minutes, he systematically guided me through a series of drills that resulted in new "Personal Bests" for me.
If he can do this for a complete stranger in a virtual world, just imagine what he can to for you in reality. He is a fantastic instructor that I would gladly shoot with anytime.”
- Troy Mason (Rangemaster Advanced Instructor, IDPA Competitor)
“I was able to work with Chris on my draw and sight picture drills. He lowered my draw to first shot from an inconsistent 1.5 to a consistent 1.2 with some even faster. All of the practice was safe and effective, and even included some drills for dry firing at home.”
