I am a lifelong student of the martial crafts and EMS Professional; Archetype of the Gun is a culmination of that lifestyle.  I hold multiple certifications and licenses from Rangemaster under Tom Givens, Handgun Combatives under Dave Spaulding, NRA, Illinois State Police and the Illinois Dept of Public Health.  I am also affiliated with USCCA, ACLDN, and Tactical Medical Solutions.  All my classes follow a simple, efficient and repeatable skill set that represents “A way” not “The way”.  I encourage growth and guided self-discovery during all my course work.   My goal is not just to get you to pass a qualification, but to make sure you are competent and confident in your skills.  I also host many prominent instructors throughout the year.
