Steven served in the U.S. Army, but his true training came long after he separated from the military. After getting his concealed handgun license he found competitive shooting (he holds a Sharpshooter classification in IDPA) and quickly became a student of the handgun, specifically concealed carry.
For many, the License to Carry course is a gateway to the concealed carry lifestyle. That’s why Steven is passionate about ensuring his students get a firm grounding in handgun safety, handgun carry laws, mindset and non-violent dispute resolution, and the laws related to force and deadly force.
“The more I learn, the more I realize how much there is to learn. And if I can help others along on the way, that’s all the better.”
