Meet Patrick

Patrick has been involved with firearms most of his life. Growing up he hunted everything available in Missouri. Shortly after High School graduation he joined the United States Army where he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division where he became a US Army Ranger.
After the Army Patrick moved to Fort Collins where attended Colorado State University for Electrical Engineering and has worked in the field for over 20 years.

While in the Army Patrick gained vast experience with multiple firearms from the M-16 up, but always felt he wanted more experience with handguns as they are not as commonly used in the military, so he began to seek out educational opportunities.
He has since taken the NRA basic pistol class, the Front Sight Defensive Handgun class, and the NRA Pistol Instructor class. In addition, he has consulted with members of the police department and FBI SWAT teams to ensure he is up to date on the latest handgun tactics.

Teaching firearms safety and proficiency and working with people are his passions. He is also a high school wrestling coach, martial artist, retired cage fighter, and a proud father of 2 boys.

Early in life, she learned a healthy respect for guns, hunting, and the outdoors spending much of her time in the wilderness.

Meet Andrew

I’ve been a lifelong shooter of pistols and carbines, and have been introducing people to firearms and firearms safety for years. I am passionate about not only helping people become proficient shooters but making sure they understand how to safely operate their firearms as well pass on the lessons I’ve learned through both my personal experiences and what others have imparted on me.

I joined the Army Reserves after I graduated high school and worked as a CBRN specialist for the duration of my contract. I currently work in the medical field and have been so for the last 8 years.
